I'm also surprised at how negative the reaction here is to Google embracing an open standard. Both Android and iOS devices keep your passwords/keys encrypted end-to-end between your devices. You can absolutely share passkeys between devices (if you want to) and even make them exportable to another secrets manager (if you want to).

If you ask me what's one thing in 2030 people will look back on and say "I can't believe we did that!" I'd have to say "passwords". Passwords need to die and WebAuthn is a great step forward.
