What are you talking about? I'm locked in with all my passkeys that are stored in my open source self hosted password manager that syncs across all my devices?

Like, I'm confused on what you mean

    people self-hosting their open-source password managers are in the vast minority. most people will use whatever is pushed to them, which is gonna be vendor lock-in.

    Sure but that's not an inherent issue with passkeys.

    You can use whatever proprietary password manager you'd like. Sure that often means people are using the device built in ones...

    But why should that stop me personally from using passkeys?

    it is. passkeys are not memorable.

    and if all you are thinking about is how you should personally set up your own computer, you are missing the forest for the trees. we will keep happening upon android type situations if we're being that individualist.
