Passkeys: less than a stellar experience
I played with Passkeys last night and had less than a stellar experience.
I created a passkey on eBay, Best Buy and Kayak.
The Best Buy passkey I set up on my Mac in the Vivaldi browser. I gues...
On my Mac desktop using Chrome, I created a passkey using 1P's demo. That went smoothly so I'm disappointed that 1P won't support passkeys for any other site else yet. I too want 1P to save my passkeys, not my OS or my browser.
Inspired by AndyPas's post, I then tried to create a passkey for Bestbuy. Chrome said "This passkey will only be saved on this device" and popped up a prompt for me to enter my password for, well, I don't know. I couldn't tell if it was asking for my desktop's login password or for my Google password. So is it storing the passcode in the MacOS Keychain or in Chrome?
Then I tried eBay where I made even less progress. I went to the security settings and don't see passkeys mentioned anywhere. How does one set up passcodes at eBay? There must be one since AndyPas mentioned doing so. Here's my screenshot of eBay's Sign-in settings.
