For folks who don't know how passkeys work at a technical level, take a look at this implementation guide: https://webauthn.guide/

I don't get the passkey hate -- moving to public key challenge for authentication is a strong step forward for web security. Each browser / OS safeguards & backs up the private key (and even if that's lost, you can still reset your auth credentials using a normal "forgot password" flow).
