What options are there for migrating passkeys to a new device?
Easy to lock you into that iPhone and you must use their migration tool when you upgrade. Or I just carry it on my keychain, no vendor lock in.
Do I need a subscription service for this passkey supported password manager?
Or I can just buy a hardware key that can be used on my phone or any device, password manager supported or not.
Seems like the freedom and portability of a physical key, like a key to your home or car makes a ton of sense.
Passkeys are based on and supported by the FIDO alliance.
You don’t need a subscription as you well know since you know what they’re based on. And I meant FIDO physical keys as you were alluding to. Why would I ever want another device to use with a device that already has biometric auth? That last a barrier of entry that’s too high for most people.

3rd party password managers are already adding passkey support. Passkeys isn’t an Apple only security technology.
