If passwords are becoming obsolete, what happens when your digital keys get locked in the wrong ecosystem?
While passkeys promise a faster, safer way to log in, they also come with a serious flaw—there’s no easy way to move them between platforms. Imagine setting up passkeys on Google only to find you’re stuck when switching to Apple. This "vendor lock-in" means users are left choosing between convenience and flexibility.
Locked-in credentials aren’t just inconvenient—they undermine the whole idea of digital freedom. Each new account or device switch becomes a frustrating obstacle, forcing users to re-create access points from scratch. It also makes people reluctant to adopt new technologies, holding back the shift to passwordless security. And as more services switch to passkeys, the problem will only grow. Without a secure, standardized way to transfer credentials, users risk being trapped in tech silos that limit choice and mobility.
