Big Tech has implemented passkeys in a way that locks users into their platforms rather than providing universal security
Passkeys were developed to replace passwords for better account security, but their rollout by Apple and Google has limited their potential
Proton Pass offers passkeys that are universal, easy to use, and available to everyone for improved online security and privacy.

Passkeys sound great. Where's the support for Firefox, Proton Pass? Bitwarden has it.

Yup, the only missing thing for Bitwarden is the mobile app, but so far none of my apps support it, so whatever.

I use BitWarden's mobile app just fine on Android.

For passkeys? My understanding is that's not implemented yet.

Oh, I totally didn't register you were talking about passkeys. lol sorry. I don't use them, so I was just talking about the BW app in general .I haven't run into any compatibility issues with it.
