I know, I use yubikeys for all my important stuff.

But I view passkeys as more for the low-hanging fruit. All the crap accounts that every webshop and news outlet makes you create these days. I have 500+ accounts in my current password manager. Not being able to migrate that away to another service would be a nightmare. Being locked in with a big tech company would be too.

What my ideal would be is to have the master key on multiple HSMs (like multiple yubikeys) so they are safe but mobile.

Also, if software password managers don't offer export options it doesn't mean it's impossible to export. They just don't want to make it possible. But an adversary could. The only way to really make it impossible is hardware tokens which is great for important stuff but not really for those thirteen in a dozen accounts.

That would be glorious. It would be great if it was standards-based, too, to prevent vendor lock-in.
