47. Picking a Password Manager for Passkeys

January 24, 2025

Ready to start using passkeys?

First, you’ll need a password manager.

By default, your phone or laptop might offer to store your passkeys in your browser.

But here’s the catch: if you do, your secret isn’t so secret anymore—Google or Microsoft could have access to it.

The smarter move? Use a dedicated password manager.

I recommend 1Password, ProtonPass, or Bitwarden.

In this episode, we dive into why browser-based options fall short.
