I was surprised by the amount of dislike of passkeys in this thread until I realised I had misunderstood what passkeys refer to.
I thought it was the same as security keys, which are like digital, but still physical, keys. They are awesome, one just has to have two and you are set. Passkeys tied to a cloud service or device like a smartphone are a terrible alternative (comparatively), from privacy and security (as in not get locked out) standpoints. At least they use fido2 so pushing for passkeys add support for security keys at the same time..
