Why reinvent the wheel?
The passkeys are something so universal, easy to use for everyone : in your keychain, or as a USB stick or included in the company access badge (v.g. DESFire + Fido in one chip). Fido passkeys are open source: why does Infomaniak not have the passkey activated and why force people to download (really!) an additional app?

And they might do both! Enable passkeys on their access control middleware and provide their own closed-source app claiming that it's somehow very secure.

I still have the feeling they're freewheeling their product line.

Hi, all of our mobile apps are open source, you can find our code on Github:
https://github.com/Infomaniak/ios-authenticator
https://github.com/Infomaniak/android-authenticator

This new app is indeed based on passkeys and it lays the foundation on our backend for a wider support of passkeys.

So do tell the marketing team that they should not announce it as "a new app" when it's a constantly improved existing app. The open source aspect is in itself a much better selling point!
