• Big Tech has implemented passkeys in a way that locks users into their platforms rather than providing universal security
  • Passkeys were developed to replace passwords for better account security, but their rollout by Apple and Google has limited their potential
  • Proton Pass offers passkeys that are universal, easy to use, and available to everyone for improved online security and privacy.

    I’d trust them miles before Google or Apple. Hell, they dropped the prices on some of their products when they found ways to provide them cheaper. Proton is a good company.

      That doesn’t mean they will be around forever. Economic realities care little about whether a company is good or not.

        In fact history has shown the good die out or become corrupt. Still using them for now though.

        Iirc you can export everything. Most allow export of passwords of course but i think proton allows export of passkeys too.

        So there’s portability if they ever do disintegrate.

        True, but this is valid for every company.
        Let’s say that since the company is Swiss based and, AFAIK, not quoted maybe they are not driven by the “the next quarter is all that matters” mentality of many quoted (US) companies.
        There is a smaller chance that they will do something stupid to monetize more just to be ok next quarter (while risking to lose everything the next one) and will be there as long as they provide a value to the customer for the paid price.
