NordPass explains that using Passkeys with its system is superior to using “alternative systems,” because it allows for syncing between cross-platform devices, offers better passkey-sharing options, and grants instant portability between operating systems. This means that if you use multiple devices in different ecosystems, such as a Windows Laptop and an iPhone, you can use your Passkeys more easily.
They are dead right about needing cross-platform support for passkeys (unless you know for sure you’ll never be moving off your existing OS, or even sometimes using a different one), but they won’t be the only ones supporting cross-platform.
You will have a challenge with cross-platform support though if it is a solution that only works on iOS or Windows for example. Passkeys are not like passwords, where you can just retype them into a different machine. So you certainly want to give a bit of thought before making your choice as to what to use as your passkeys manager.
If you are already on Bitwarden, for example, just wait a bit until they release their passkeys solution. There is no immediate urgency.
