Wasn't there multiple password managers that got powned over the years ?

Pretty much only LastPass

That’s weird, it works for me. Is there something you need to click on the mobile site?

Bitwarden just announced a consortium with Apple, Google, 1Password, etc to create a secure import/export format for credentials; spurred by the need for passkeys to be portable between password managers (but also works for passwords/other credential types)

All the major password managers store passkeys now. I have every passkey I’ve been able to make stored in Bitwarden, and they’re accessible on all my devices.

Article is behind the times, and this dude was wrong to “rip out” passkeys as an option.

It's not illegal for Nintendo to run retroarch.

You think they wrote their own emulator instead of just taking one of the free ones on the internet (who they will likely sue later). That's cute.

Read the article, it’s literally about replacing Import/Export CSV plaintext unencrypted files with something more secure.

I.e. moving your passwords/passkeys between password managers. This is not about replacing stuff like OAuth where one service securely authorizes a user for another.

With passkeys you never need to worry about the storage method used by the site. Some sites STILL store passwords in plaintext. When that database gets hacked, it’s game over.

A public passkey, even stored in plaintext, is useless to an attacker.

Maybe that doesn’t matter for you or me, with our 64-character randomly generated passwords unique to each service, but the bigger picture is that most people just use the same password everywhere. This is how identity theft happens.

That’s exactly how passkeys work. The server never has the private key.

When a website gets hacked they only find public keys, which are useless without the private keys.

Private keys stored on a password manager are still more secure, as those services are (hopefully!) designed with security in mind from the beginning.

Was that atmospheric heating from the re-entry?
