Import export is not the same as interoperability

[–] EncryptKeeper 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

The interoperability already exists in the protocol webauthn, part of FIDO2 which has been around for almost a decade. Interoperability is not remotely an issue with passkeys. Imported/export is/was and also already has a solution in the works.

So I can use the same passkey from say, bitwarden and windows hello? Why do you even need import export then?

[–] EncryptKeeper 2 points 1 month ago

Yes you can use a passkey set up on any given service to authenticate to a service that supports passkeys. You’d need import/export to move a given passkey from bitwarden to Windows.
