Comment on Amazon Is Requiring Passkeys

Comments

The problem for me is I am on Linux devices and I can see this being a solution that will start to lock people out of there accounts if they don't have an approved device...

I doubt there is no passkey solution for Linux. Might not have a bundled one (maybe it will be added), but you could use something like KeePassXC, which is open source.

Passkeys sync automatically across devices signed into the same Apple ID, Google account, or Microsoft account.

Do you have to be in one of those ecosystems? because I am on neither.

I don't think you have to. Those passkey managers just sync across devices for you as a convenience.
