Why does an Apple fanboy like me need 1Password for Passkeys?
Every device I have or anticipate having uses iCloud, and Apple’s implementation of Passkeys shares them across all devices. Given that, am I not just as well off to let Apple host my Passkeys, and u...
Dave, you make some good points. For now, I will continue to use passkeys in 1p, although once they become universal – a matter of years I think – that may change. The one weakness in your argument may be non-login data. Apple has an advantage in this stuff because it can offer such deep integration among its first-party apps.
13, you also make a good point about stolen phones. Of course 1P has some of this same vulnerability, especially since it odiously and paternalistically insists that we re-enter the master password periodically, and always allows it in place of the biometric. That does require a double theft, of the phone’s code and the master password, so it’s more protected.
The best defense is to not hang out in crowded bars at night, and to use a less convenient long password to open the phone when the biometric fails.
