Proton Pass now supports passkeys on all devices and plans: Beating Bitwarden to mobile devices (proton.me)

Passkeys are an easy and secure alternative to traditional passwords that can help prevent phishing attacks and make your online experience smoother and safer.

Unfortunately, Big Tech’s rollout of this technology prioritized using passkeys to lock people into their walled gardens over providing universal security for everyone (you have to use their platform, which often does not work across all platforms). And many password managers only support passkeys on specific platforms or provide them with paid plans, meaning you only get to reap passkeys’ security benefits if you can afford them.

They’ve reimagined passkeys, helping them reach their full potential as free, universal, and open-source tech. They have made online privacy and security accessible to everyone, regardless of what device you use or your ability to pay.

I'm still a paying customer of Bitwarden as Proton Pass was up to now still not doing everything, but this may make me re-evaluate using Proton Pass as I'm also a paying customer of Proton Pass. It certainly looks like Proton Pass is advancing at quite a pace, and Proton has already built up a good reputation for private e-mail and an excellent VPN client.

Proton is also the ONLY passkey provider that I've seen allowing you to store, share, and export passkeys just like you can with passwords!

1Password has had this for several months.

As others have mentioned, Bitwarden also has this. This really feels like an ad.

Agreed. Saying PP four times in two sentences triggers my ad sense. Capitalism never capitulates.

I don't see a way where this isn't an ad, especially with the end and it's frustrating.

i looked at it and it literally says passkeys aren't supported on Android right now. so this is bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Looks like they are just rolling out support for Android 14 and up.

sry my comment was not clear i meant proton.

Thanks I did not know that. I see they say share via the vault, but don't specifically mention exporting, as in to a file for importing elsewhere outside 1Password. But certainly LastPass, Bitwarden and others I'd looked at were not exporting the passkeys.

Bitwarden only works on the desktop with a browser extension. So as much as I have Passkeys in Bitwarden they are not usable on my phone :(
