alt Hacker NewsKeepassXC is free, open source, and supports passkeys. You can locally store your encrypted password vault wherever you like, and transport it between devices using physical media if you like (or self host your own personal storage synchronization server and sync your passkeys between devices like that).
No need to be a part of an 'ecosystem' to use a password manager or passkeys.

KeepassXC was threatened to be blocked.[1]

You can sync your vault between devices, but what's the point if the clients on those devices don't support passkeys? As far as I know, no KeePass app on Android has mature passkey support. That's not even mentioning more niche cases, like what if I want to log into a website in a browser on my TV? The cool thing about passwords is that they work on any device.
Also, remember when one of the maintainers of the passkey standard warned that KeePassXC users would get blocked by relying parties [0]? Would you allow tech companies to determine what password manager you are allowed to use?
