• Big Tech has implemented passkeys in a way that locks users into their platforms rather than providing universal security
  • 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.

      I’m not locked into Gmail: I know it implements standards and I choose it as long as it is most convenient.

      A lot of what comes into my gmail account is actually addressed to various aliases from various providers, and I can point those aliases anywhere

      In particular, all my recent online accounts use unique generated email addresses that I can disable at will, and that forward to my actual email

        Well that’s great news, then you’ll like passkeys because you can use them without being locked into anything.
