How do I create a passkey with Proton Pass then? I don't see that option when pressing the big Plus button.

It is the same for Bitwarden. What I noticed is if I go to a site with passkeys, then Bitwarden prompts me with a pop-up to want to add a passkey. It's not something you manually add, apparently.
Has anyone used pass keys? I have been hesitant to try them out. Using them, do they basically keep you logged in all the time to a given site?
Only for a test, I do not see myself switching to passkeys any time soon, using KeePass is fine in my use case. If there would be some site for which I would need to authenticate every day I would probably create a passkey on device itself (Windows Hello or Google Password manager) since authentication speed increase is undeniable.
Only authentication method changes, there should be no difference after you sign-in, how long sign-in is kept still depends on site owner.
There are various sites to test authentication experience, here's one where you can test it with dummy account and no registration https://webauthn.io/. It is pretty cool, but you need to create a passkey for every site on all devices to fully utilize their potential.
I get "This device does not support passkeys" on Sony Xperia 1 V running android 14
I really really like proton pass, was using Google password manager prior but I primarily use Firefox and Firefox's password syncing is just bad. Proton pass has been a surprisingly reliable password manager.
It does seem to have innovated quite quickly. I'm still using Bitwarden as I have the paid access to biometrics etc, and it has a nice tweak also to add unique e-mails for every login, etc. But I'm interested to see where Proton Pass will be in another few months, seeing I'm already paying for their service, and maybe I can consolidate my expenses a bit. I actually got drawn into paid Proton by leaving ExpressVPN, which I needed for Netflix, and then found Proton (with one or two others) were the only one's handling Netflix's geofencing quite well. Looking at options is always good.
Passkeys seem like mtls...so much so that I'm not sure what the difference is.
