And if my google account gets banned, I lose access to a trillion things instead of just one.
I was hoping passkeys would work on 1password,but chrome/brave don't support that yet.
It seems like a passkey is just a password though

They're as secure as having your password + 2FA in a password manager.

edit: This actually might be a better thread to hear some of the debate between an Okta dev and the KeepassXC team:
EDIT: Private key is not transmitted off of your device when authenticating, but it can be transmitted off of your device by your password manager.
"The difference between passkeys and passwords is that passkeys are cryptographic key pairs. The key pair is specific to a website. One half is shared with the website, and the other half is private and stored on your device or in your password manager." [0]
"Passkeys are securely backed up and synced between your Android devices" [0]
"Passkeys are stored in your Google Account..." [0]
"Your iCloud Keychain stores and syncs them [passkeys] between iOS, iPadOS, and macOS devices." [0]
Thank you. I should have been more specific. Non-transerral during auth is important because it virtually eliminates fishing, and that also explains why the Powers That Be are touchy about exporting. Exfiltration enables scenarios where a nefarious party tricks a user into transferring their cryptographic keys.
