One of the drawbacks to passkeys is that currently there’s no way to import or export them between devices. The FIDO Alliance wants to change that.

It’s been around two years since passkeys came onto the scene, and the technology has come a long way in making the world a passwordless place. Yet, one feature that’s been absent is the ability to import or export passkeys between devices.

That is set to change, as the FIDO Alliance — the working group behind the technology — has published a draft specification for Credential Exchange Protocol (CXP) and Credential Exchange Format (CXF) formats that would not only work for the secure transferring of passkeys but also other forms of authentication.
