   It would be nice if there were a common, open standard for managing   
   passkeys ...   
      
   Oh wait, there is.   
      
   But oh, further wait, Microsoft doesn’t want to support that. It wants   
   you to use its own proprietary passkey mechanism.   
      
      
      
   And funny that, but other major corporations are sabotaging the   
   usefulness of passkeys in the same way, by each insisting you use   
   their particular implementations of the concept, rather than sharing a   
   common interoperable one.
