google will also control the most popular passkey manager. is that not obvious by how they already control the most popular password manager, browser, search engine and more?

    I'm really struggling to follow your logic here. You're saying they already have the most popular password manager so we shouldn't support a next gen, more secure, open standard because Google will have the most popular client for that also?

    The obvious problem with this reasoning is that... there will be alternatives of you don't wish to use googles implementation.

    unless google finds a way to lock you in (or out), like they've done pretty much everywhere else. me and you using foss won't change what's coming for society at large.

    i mean how can you not see how they have been hoovering up everything on the internet for the last couple of decades and think they won't find a way to to capture this too and run it their way, like all before it?

    I do see Google's behavior and I'm certain that they will do their best to capture this as they have everything else.

    However, it's an absurdity to suggest that we should not develop new protocols because google will act to ensure they have the largest market share.
