Federal authentication standards and major platform shifts have made passkeys the default login method for most consumer and enterprise accounts, pushing traditional password managers toward obsolescence. The FIDO2 protocol, backed by the W3C’s WebAuthn specification and endorsed by both NIST and CISA as the only widely available phishing-resistant authentication method, now ships natively in every major browser and operating system. For the growing number of users whose accounts rely on public-key credentials instead of shared secrets, the password manager has become a solution to a problem that no longer exists.
