Android has been surprisingly awesome with cross-platform passkeys (i.e. google lets you use BitWarden/1Password/etc pretty transparently).

Anything Apple related is another story...

There's some good movement in the linux desktop space I'm excited about: https://github.com/linux-credentials/linux-webauthn-platform...

Apple have been the best in my experience. On apple devices all 3rd party passkey providers are shown at the same time in the same UX where you’d choose iCloud (their native provider)

Google Android may be good, but Chrome is not doing right yet. Chrome still tries to get you to use itself i stead of delegating to the platform selection box.

I'm using iOS and Passkeys from 1Password work there too. No problems with any browser on macOS either.

On iOS I can even see a list of password & passkey providers, so I can ensure that the Apple one is toggled off (as well as MS Authenticator which can also provide those it seems)
