Big Tech has implemented passkeys in a way that locks users into their platforms rather than providing universal security
Passkeys were developed to replace passwords for better account security, but their rollout by Apple and Google has limited their potential
Proton Pass offers passkeys that are universal, easy to use, and available to everyone for improved online security and privacy.

The way out of the circle that you’ve put yourself in is realizing Google isn’t the only company implementing passkeys.

And that most people are in multiple ecosystems...e.g. Android/iOS + Windows. So they can't use a solution that's not interoperable.
