  • 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.

      Also most or all of these should require some for of local authentication.

      For example I have 2fa apps on my phone, where I need to use them, so yes, that’s less than ideal. However

      • it protects against remote attacks
      • it protects against SIM attacks
      • and even if someone stole my phone and unlocked it, they’d still need my face id for every use
