1Password previously announced that mobile support for passkeys stored in 1Password was on its way later. I assume they had advanced knowledge of this announcement.
I totally understand a pessimistic reading. In trying to roll out passkeys to everyone at once, and doing a poor job of UX and documentation clarity, all the major players bungled the 2022 launch. Not having some portability out of the gate absolutely caused unnecessary distrust about passkeys.
But I strongly believe this won’t become a vendor lock-in playground.
I have replied a lot about passkeys. I should disclose a former employer works in this space, but I’m not advocating for any particular company or product here, and I no longer have any inside knowledge relevant to the topic that isn’t already public.
That's good to hear. If cross-platform sync is possible, passkeys are definitely a better option for the 95% of crud that currently lives in browsers' password managers.

I fully agree with you. Passkeys solve a lot of usability problems, especially for the less technically adept, while solving so many password problems.
