    This is one of the major problems with passkeys that passwords don’t have. Are they device-specific, browser-specific, browser-on-device specific? Can I use the same one or do I need a different one if I’m on chrome but two different desktops, or desktop and laptop or if I use both Firefox and Chrome on the same phone/laptop? Until this stuff gets worked out, passkey aren’t going to go mainstream.

      In theory, as the article mentions, you should be able to save them to your password manager of choice (if it supports passkeys, bitwarden does on the browser extension but not in the android app yet) and they will sync up through the cloud. So you might have just one passkey for GitHub for example and use that same one on all your devices to log into GitHub.
