My method for judging the quality of software: Read the latest release notes, negate every statement, and think to yourself: "They were fine with it being like this until now."

Passkeys have been advertised as a superior replacement to passwords, but really fundamental issues remain unaddressed.

I have one (1) Windows PC and one (1) iDevice. Can I get these to sync? Will both be able to log me in to a Google Account? Or do I need an Android phone for that? Can I use an iDevice to authenticate with an Azure AD app? Can I recover the passkeys on a lost iDevice without having to pay Apple for a new device to restore the backup? Etc...

I guarantee many more release notes that could be summarised as: "Now supports a common scenario!"
