Is this the first major iPhone release since passkeys have started becoming more widely adopted?

If you are moving from Android to iPhone this week you may want to check all the consumer services you registered a passkey in Google Password manager before you wipe or trade in your phone. You will need to re register a passkey on your iPhone using Apple Passwords.

Can you see them in the web browser for your Google account at least if you already traded it in and don’t have another android device?

Syncable passkeys are not currently transferable across passkey ecosystems so you have to register passkeys again if switching ecosystems.

If you are using device bound passkeys via Microsoft Entra you will need to re register on your new device.

@JefTek inb4 someone linking the eulogy for passkey blog

I hope it will take off now. We've been holding back the adoption of device-bound passkeys due to iOS limitations (multiple third party password managers), which have been fixed in iOS 18.

@jtig indeed I believe passkeys are our best chance to move everyone at least a bit further towards being more secure

@JefTek Me too! It's great for more controlled environments. Can't wait to roll this out to my clients, so we can work with phishing resistent authentication.

But for consumers, I am not sure if passkeys are the future. Phones get lost, and users will switch platforms, but their credentials will be gone if that happens. Passwords and emailed login links will still work regardless (not happy about it, but it is the reality for now)
