Big Tech companies want to chain your passkey to their products. Enter Proton Pass, which allows you to manage and use passkeys across all devices seamlessly.
  • 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.

        Asymmetric cryptography has been ubiquitous and generally standardized by the time Google began letting you store Passkeys, so what’s your point?

        Is Google supporting a particular service or system a dealbreaker for you or not? Because Google has far more fingers in the public operation of email than it does passkeys. So if you’re still ok with having an email account, then you should be just as ok with using passkeys.

      I’m not locked into Gmail: I know it implements standards and I choose it as long as it is most convenient.

      A lot of what comes into my gmail account is actually addressed to various aliases from various providers, and I can point those aliases anywhere

      In particular, all my recent online accounts use unique generated email addresses that I can disable at will, and that forward to my actual email

        Well that’s great news, then you’ll like passkeys because you can use them without being locked into anything.
