Passkeys Credential Exchange

The FIDO Alliance has drafted new specifications to enable users to transfer passkeys between password managers using the Credential Exchange Protocol and Credential Exchange Format.
The new specifications will also support the transfer of other types of credentials.
1Password has pledged to support the new passkey formats, along with other companies like Google, Bitwarden, and NordPass.
Apple, which introduced passkey support for iOS 16 in 2022, is among the companies behind the new specifications.
The FIDO Alliance says its credential exchange system helps users switch securely between providers.
However, security experts and some developers say the system does not allow true exporting and makes data less accessible.
They argue users should be able to easily access password information and fear big tech companies could abuse their power.
In addition to enabling credential transfer, the FIDO Alliance's new specifications also allow hardware attestation to ensure critical environments.
Implementing passkeys correctly is no mean feat, and some developers say it is 100 times more difficult than anticipated.
Meanwhile, Apple users question why the company stores users' personal private information in plain text and say they feel less control over access to password information.
