> "If you really want passkeys, put them in a password manager you control. But don't use a platform controlled passkey store"

That is my main reason for avoiding Passkeys;

I will only use Passkeys, when i can export/backup them easily and store an offline backup, without depending on some Big Tech company or whatever. (KeepassXC can export them, but not sure if it's released and fully functional in the stable build yet.)

What also worries me however, is that apparently if i read correctly, each server/service/website can decide/restrict "which password managers/apps" are allowed to be used for the Passkeys they offer...
