I very specifically don’t want my security tied to my device. Trying to migrate to new phones, and keeping things synced between a phone, desktop, and laptop is why I long ago moved to a password manager. Now, especially in the phone space, getting passkeys to function fully with a password manager ranges from “pain in the ass” to “not actually possible”.
I had a botched phone battery replacement once resulting in the phone getting replaced very unexpectedly. It was a nightmare trying to get everything back together because I stupidly used google authenticator, which is tied to the specific phone it’s on. Not tying it to the device is the way to go.
Heard of so many people losing their phone. Then they try to log into something and the company (quite often google) says “I don’t give a fuck if you know your passwords I’m never letting you log into your account get fucked, don’t call I won’t answer”

Bitwarden: “I’m literally right here”
Bitwarden+Firefox+Android. That combo doesn’t support passkey creation.
