Rip out resident keys altogether. They aren't needed. You can get 99.9% of the benefits of Passkeys by using non-resident keys - literally the only drawback is that you'd need to enter a username.

Resident keys essentially kill physical tokens. Without resident keys a $10 token can support thousands of websites. With resident keys? A couple dozen, if you're lucky.
