My thoughts exactly. I use Bitwarden and passkeys sync flawlessly between my devices. Password managers tied to a a device or ecosystem are stupid and people shouldn’t use them. This is true whether you use passwords or passkeys.

That said, we cannot blame users for bad UX that some platforms and some devs provide.

    Isn't your password manager tied to an ecosystem with Bitwarden ?

    I'm surprised people trust third parties to hold their passwords.

    Wasn't there multiple password managers that got powned over the years ?

    If you can sync Passwords you are also more exposed than some unhandy secure local password storage.

    I can use bitwarden on Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS, Android, on desktop app or using CLI. That’s a stark difference in comparison with built in Microsoft or Apple keychains. And yes, I trust Bitwarden.

    Bitwarden is not usable on Linux desktop, keeps asking for password. The password can't be too short, so it takes some time to type it in. I turn off my computer when it's not needed, so I would just need to type in the password when I turn it on again.

    Anyone have a better solution?

    You could use your

    to unlock the app instead of the password
