Apple’s push is enough to convince me that this will be a default soon. Adoption has been slow because it takes some effort and the payoff isn’t immediately obvious. This new service from 1Password might start to change that. I expect others will follow with similar ideas.

Apple Pay but for passwords!

It will take over slowly, especially if they handle the edge cases well. Explaining passwords to people is a pain.

Apple Pay definitely hasn't taken over. I've heard of it, but never used it. I don't understand exactly what it does.

If explaining passwords to people is a pain, just wait until you try to explain a passkey.

The passkey needs to work like faceID does on apps, quietly, quickly, and without anyone even really noticing.

Apple Pay is nice when a website supports it AND it works, but those two are sadly vanishingly rare.

Works well on Apple's store, however.

have you ever used a tap credit card?
Yes but I’m speaking of using Apple Pay on websites.
Yes, I have.
