There was a related news recently, that bitwarden and other pw managers will be able to sync passkeys between devices. Won't that solve these issues?

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.

Pretty much only LastPass
