The goal is basically to prevent end users from using weak passwords and to make it much harder for phishing to occur, both of which IMO are kind of necessary. The vendor lock-in and the slow development of FOSS implementations are not great though. It's also not great how passkey support on at least Android seems to require proprietary blobs.

    Bitwarden / Vaultwarden are OSS and work fantastic across all my devices. IMO it's more convenient than passwords now, ESPECIALLY if you'd have to enter a 2fa code as well.

    IIRC it took them a little while to add support, but I was more thinking of stuff like KeePass. KeePassXC has passkey support, but AFAIK none of the Android apps do yet (although it sounds like KeePassDX is getting close, finally). Also, when I was using Bitwarden, I had issues with some services not liking its passkey implementation (despite being fine with Proton Pass for whatever reason). May be fixed now, but it was incredibly annoying at the time.
