Hello!
I checked the developer document, looks like there's no API for passkeys from 3rd party password manager so far.
My question is, will there be a new API to support sign-in (make assertion) by 3rd party password manager? (Like we can support account / password autofill by extension?)
Thank you.
Hubert
Please let us know through Feedback Assistant exactly what you'd expect from such an API!
+1.
Many of our customers ask if we’ll being adding Passkeys support to our Password Manager, so we’ve now added a request for this functionality to be made available via Feedback Assistant.
We all want to see and play our part in a Password-less future. By Apple empowering third-party Password Manager apps to securely generate, store, and autofill Passkeys via native APIs, they reduce friction and hugely increase potential Passkey adoption from users who are already happy with their existing Password Manager app, without forcing them to have to use the in-built system provided password manager. This will also negate the need for a fragmented user experience of having to manage passwords and passkeys from separate apps.
As a side point, 1Password will be rolling out their own solution for Passkeys in early 2023, so it looks like password managers being able to manage a user’s Passkeys might soon become a user expectation.
