This new and easy way to secure your accounts removes the need for passwords by authenticating you with your device. Passkeys also provide a higher protection against #phishing attacks.
@protonprivacy I'm a bit confuse about passkeys. I currently use in on my google account, with Bitwarden. But how do I use it with Protonpass?
Do I somehow need to copy the passkey from Bitwarden to Protonpass? Or perhaps do an export and import?
Or can an account have multiple passkeys?
@ander_dapo Hi there, passkeys are phishing resistant as they only work on the originating website. You can't accidentally type your credentials into a fake website.
Passkeys are also strong by default, rather than relying on user generated password + setting up 2FA.
And as you mentioned, only the public key is stored on a services website.
@protonprivacy 1Password has a cool feature showing which of the accounts saved in the manager has support for passkeys. I think there is a list on passkeys.com, maybe an API. It would be a cool addition to Proton Pass. The same goes for 2FA (but I don’t know how 1Password does it). I really liked the security tab on 1Password showing these things and password warnings for breached or weak passwords.
@TuxOnBike We’ve passed this directly to the team. 🙂 Feel free to contact us at https://proton.me/support/contact if you have any additional suggestions on what we can do to improve.
@andirsun@case2tv Yes, as soon as the Firefox browser extension is approved, it will be available. For example, you can test it out in Brave right now.
