2FA or Not 2FA
And one of the developers of passkeys threatened to use the specified attestation anti-feature to blackball Keepassxc's implementation when they made something not locked in enough.
https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/10407
There have been some discussions to create an export standard since then but I remain skeptical. Why was this not part of the original spec but the ban hammer was? Depending upon how this standard is implemented I can easily see it preventing export to anything but Google, Microsoft and Apple's implementations. And it still leaves the attestation badness in place.

Passkey marketing is lying to you (it's simple)
Oof, I found a whole ton of anti-open-source-software quotes on the related Github issue https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/10406 :
> When required, the authenticator must perform user verification (PIN, biometric, or some other unlock mechanism). If this is not possible, the authenticator should not handle the request.
> [A passkey provider certification process] is currently being defined and is almost complete.
> This implementation is not spec compliant and has the potential to be blocked by relying parties.
> Then you should require its use when passkeys are enabled ... [You may be blocked because] you have a passkey provider that is known to not be spec compliant.
> I suspect we'll see [biometrics] required by regulation in some geo-regions.
> I see a lot of misinformation and incorrect guesses about the intentions of various parties in the recent threads. If it would be helpful, I'm willing to have a [private, non-public] call with interested parties to try and answer some of the questions that have been raised to ensure we have a common technical understanding of FIDO/WebAuthn.
I felt reasonably positive about Passkeys while writing this blog post, but continuing to read the spec authors' insistence that only Big Tech may handle these problems is extremely worrying. I really want to like this feature, but the authors are acting like complete jerks and driving me away.

Passkey technology is elegant, but it's most definitely not usable security
One of the Passkeys/WebAuthn spec people made a huge fuss over how KeePassXC did their export function https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/10407

Microsoft Confirms Password Deletion for 1B Users
By using the built in device attestation feature to blackball any passkey providers that allow that, apparently:
https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/10407#iss...
Now imagine a whitelist of acceptable providers. Suddenly, you don't even own your credentials anymore.

Concerns Raised over Bitwarden Moving Further Away from Open-Source
KeepassXC.
https://keepassxc.org/
Recently switched over from a premium Bitwarden account to it. Import from Bitwarden was a breeze.
Note that KeepassXC only writes to a local encrypted db file. Syncing that across devices is left to you. I used Syncthing for that.

FIDO Alliance publishes new spec to let users move Passkeys across providers
Should be noted that there's still debate on user presence, to the point that someone submitted a CVE[0][1] on KeePassXC for not abiding by this part of the protocol (and which I take Keepass's side).
