    If you tell corporations there’s a way to increase lock-in and decrease account sharing, they’re gonna make it work.

      One is a new technical specification called Credential Exchange Protocol (CXP) that will make passkeys portable between digital ecosystems, a feature that users have increasingly demanded.

      I.e. I can copy my key to my friends’ device.

        I believe that’s Apple talking to Google, not anything local you can own.

          Read the article, it’s literally about replacing Import/Export CSV plaintext unencrypted files with something more secure.

          I.e. moving your passwords/passkeys between password managers. This is not about replacing stuff like OAuth where one service securely authorizes a user for another.
