The new specifications hope to ensure users have a free choice of providers and are free to transfer their passkeys and passwords between their choice of service. This is the first standard of its kind to be introduced to the credential management industry. The draft specifications can be viewed on the FIDO Alliance blog.

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.

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.

The FIDO Alliance, the organization that’s helping shepherd passkey adoption, announced a draft of new specifications that would let users securely move their passkeys across different password managers.

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.
