Big Tech passkey implementations are a trap | Proton (proton.me)

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.

I wonder if there could be any bias in Proton claiming their product is the best

I'd trust them miles before Google or Apple. Hell, they dropped the prices on some of their products when they found ways to provide them cheaper. Proton is a good company.

That doesn't mean they will be around forever. Economic realities care little about whether a company is good or not.

In fact history has shown the good die out or become corrupt. Still using them for now though.
