There is an industry standard being deployed for passkey (and other credential) import/export so that everything will work together seamlessly. Most players are waiting for that so there aren’t N different formats floating around that only work with subsets of other PW managers, which is a real problem now.


I'll believe it when I see it. So far I'm with the "Passkeys are for vendor lock-in" crowd and keeping my distance from them.



I tried finding anything in the transcript that mentions that import/export explicitly will be the open standards, but they seem to mention "FIDO" and import/export in different contexts, not together.

Maybe I missed something?


These drafts both look reasonable. I wasn't aware they'd progressed beyond vaporware and I'm pleasantly surprised.
