Comment on Safari 18 can automatically transition users to passkeys [video]parent

Most users will not have them installed. And once you start using iCloud for them, migrating passkeys out of it is impossible.

You can't just install 1Password later and click "Import Passkeys".

Maybe not, but you can install 1Password later, go to the account with the iCloud passkey and use it once, then use 1Password to generate a new passkey for that account. This flow is also generally better than trying to port keys between accounts, which adds a lot of security concerns.

Once you have hundreds of accounts? Yeah, sure.
