Big Tech passkey implementations are a trap | Proton (proton.me)

Big Tech has implemented passkeys in a way that locks users into their platforms rather than providing universal security
Passkeys were developed to replace passwords for better account security, but their rollout by Apple and Google has limited their potential
Proton Pass offers passkeys that are universal, easy to use, and available to everyone for improved online security and privacy.

Jokes on them: If they allowed passkeys on iOS 16 or have let the iPhone X update to iOS 17, I most likely fell for it, now I have only some 2FA keys that I need to pull from keychain (have no macOS)
