Apple recently announced an important new feature for passkeys at WWDC 25 that will enable users to import and export their passkeys across different operating systems and platforms. This feature is crucial, as passkeys' limited transferability has been a significant drawback, leading to concerns over device lockout and ecosystem dependence. With the collaboration of the FIDO alliance, various companies are working on solutions to enhance passkey synchronization, aiming for a more flexible and user-friendly authentication method in future updates.
Apple's upcoming import/export feature for passkeys addresses significant limitations of transferability, enhancing user accessibility across devices and platforms.
The FIDO alliance recognizes the criticisms of passkeys for ecosystem lock-in and is working on tools to enhance the flexibility and usability of passkeys.
