A new standard will make it easier to move your passkeys between different password managers.
The FIDO Alliance is developing a set of standards that will allow users to safely and easily transfer their passkeys between various password management platforms. This is a significant step forward, as currently, moving passkeys between different apps can be a cumbersome process.
The Benefits of the New Standards:
- Increased Flexibility: Users will have more freedom to choose the password manager that best suits their needs without being tied to a specific platform.
- Improved Security: The new standards will ensure that passkeys are transferred securely, protecting your sensitive credentials.
- Simplified Process: The process of moving passkeys will become much easier and more streamlined.
Key Organizations Involved:
- Apple
- 1Password
- Bitwarden
- Dashlane
The Future of Passkey Management:
The FIDO Alliance's work on the Credential Exchange Protocol (CXP) and Credential Exchange Format (CXF) is promising. Once these standards are adopted by the industry, it will be much easier for users to manage their passkeys across different platforms. This will further promote the adoption of passkeys as a more secure alternative to traditional passwords.
