The FIDO Alliance released an online resource to explain why passkey technology is superior to passwords and how businesses can adopt it.

One of the drawbacks to passkeys is that currently there's no way to import or export them between devices. The FIDO Alliance wants to change that.

Passkeys are great — it’s nice to be able to log in to apps and websites without entering a password. But there hasn't been a standard protocol for transferring your passkeys across password managers. The new specifications, the Credential Exchange Protocol (CXP) and Credential Exchange Format (CXF), are designed to fill that gap.

By now, most people know passkeys offer a better way to protect their online credentials than passwords. Nearly every tech company of note, including Apple, Google and Microsoft, supports the protocol.

Passkeys, the user-friendly, passwordless login procedure touted as the successor to the passwords we still manually type in today, is getting a long-awaited feature. Anyone who has set up a passkey on one device can now easily move it (in encrypted form) between different devices,

Password managers create bulletproof passwords and keep them safe for you. This can come in handy if you tend to shop at various retailers and have trouble remembering your log-in

The new standard will work with devices from Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Samsung (among others) and password manager providers such as 1Password and Bitwarden.
