alt Hacker NewsWait a sec. My understanding is that passkeys are public/private keypairs. Public is in server, so even breaking into a server does not reveal the private key.
The big risk with passkeys is storing the passkey where it will be held hostage. Don't store it in most single-ecosystem devices like Apple. Bitwarden can export, and I think 1Password can as well.
That's where the attestation feature comes in. It allows them to force you into a hostage situations by restricting passkey implementation. There's a reason that was part of the spec from the get go but a passkey transfer system wasn't.
