I see Google and Apple really embracing passkeys lately and I’m trying to understand the hype, but it can be challenging. I also see that Bitwarden and 1Password are embracing them too. As far as I can tell, passkeys are just key pairs that behave like FIDO2 tokens (e.g. my yubikey) but are backed up to some cloud and usable from multiple synchronized trusted devices. Is this accurate? How would I go about implementing a self-hosted Linux equivalent? Use it with pam? Is this just a fancy ssh-agent for other protocols? What are you all doing in the eliminating passwords space?
I have been incredibly happy with 1Password, and really don’t have any plans for switching away from it. I was exploring Bitwarden as a solution for someone else, as an introduction to the system, and it was both not nearly as intuitive, and not nearly as feature-rich
The biggest advantage of Bitwarden, in my opinion, is the ability to host it yourself. The freeform file/notes/fields storage is also quite useful. If you’re not interested in those, it’s just another password manager that may or may not work for you.
