Password managers like Dashlane and 1Password have announced support for storing and synching passkeys. As passkeys becomes more popular I expect more providers to step up as well.

Ecosystem lockin is not how we make a new technology like this successful. And all players in the game understand that.

Appreciate the response. And I wish this message was front and center. The Attestation feature is what worries me, when, say, the bank turns it on for a few 'blessed' providers, or mandate a hardware implementation.

Watching https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/1870 with baited breath... :)

Your concern around attestation (mis)use is spot on. I'd say the industry is yet to arrive at an acceptable consensus or compromise on that question.
