The FIDO Alliance is developing new specifications to enable secure transfer of passkeys between different password managers and platforms.

According to the FIDO Alliance, the new specifications will allow users to securely import or export passkeys from one platform to another, and it will be available to its partners and providers supporting the password-less cause.

Alliance has published a working draft of a new specification that aims to enable the secure transfer of passkeys between different providers.

Passkeys were introduced two years ago, and they replace traditional passwords with more secure authentication using a security key

Currently, passkeys are confined to each company’s software ecosystem, which can force users to create duplicate keys for a single login.

As expected, the FIDO Alliance is standardizing how password and credential managers can make passkeys portable across providers.
