Tech Alliance Advocates for ‘Portable’ Passkeys

The tech industry, led by the FIDO Alliance — a coalition of major tech companies — introduced a plan to make passkeys portable across different platforms, addressing one of the main limitations of the technology. Passkeys, an alternative to traditional passwords, offer a highly secure form of login, but they are currently limited to each company’s ecosystem. This limitation forces users to duplicate passkeys across platforms, creating unnecessary complexity. The alliance’s new effort focuses on enabling users to transfer their passkeys seamlessly and securely between different credential management systems.
