Safari 18 will automatically transition users to passkeys [video]
Here's a great github discussion about passkey plaintext exports.
Apparently, the FIDO alliance is considering adding an attestation feature that would allow websites to block various passkey implementations:
https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/10407#iss...
e.g., they could block ones that allow exports, or they could block ones that are FOSS. To their credit, it looks like Apple's throwing their weight around to prevent such blocking from being technically possible.
The more I hear about this standard, the more concerned I become.

KeePassXC Debian maintainer has removed all network features
>UPSTREAM THEMSELVES decided not to include in default/recommended build instructions
This is false, or at the very least misleading. It doesn't take much to go on the repository and give a closer look instead of repeating "what other said". Kwpolska already wrote it in this thread, -DWITH_XC_ALL (the flag that's been turned OFF in the original Debian package rules) is explicitly called in the build instructions, and not only there but also one release tool [1] and snap config [2]. This is merely how the project manages its build configuration, with specific flags turned off and one master toggle enabled by default (or expected to be passed to cmake/bash release tool). Same thing for the ppa packaging. [3]

I Stopped Using Passwords. It's Great–and a Total Mess
KeepassXC supports exporting, but i don't think it is released in a stable version / to the public yet:

Ask HN: Best Password Manager without cloud login?
If you use KeePass, make sure you use the KeePassXC variant. KeePass is dead.

Not OP, but I use Aegis [1] which can create encrypted backups, and sync them automatically to my NextCloud instance with the NextCloud app.

Are there good alternatives to Google for 2FA?
Bottom line is, why in the world would you use a mysterious closed source app when there are better options out there? 2FAS is one of the better ones. Aegis Authenticator is another good choice for Android devices.

Amazon Account with unauthorised purchases, did my google passwords get leaked
You can enable 2fa with amazon I suggest you do that with a 2fa app like aegis, that will greatly increase the security of your account and require the 2fa code to login to your account.

Ask HN: How do you deal with TOTP 2-factor auth?
I use Aegis[1] on mobile and OTPClient[2] on my computer, both are regularly backed up on change.
I do not use the TOTP feature in my password manager (though I can split it to new DB in keepassXC) as feel it will defeat the purpose of 2FA.
