I am personally not switching to passkeys unless I see a clear description of all possible failure modes. I.e. Google blocks you, you loose your phone, you want to migrate from one provider to another, when passkeys offer more security and when less.

I feel with authentication, it's always those special cases that determine the usefulness and security, but when passkeys are discussed I never have seen a proper discussion a pros and cons and special cases. At least with regular passwords + 1password I kind'a understand what i am protected against and how to restore from disasters.
