1. Passkeys are unique, so no more password stuffing attacks.

2. Passkeys can't be to short, in contrast to passwords

Passkeys essentially remove almost all risks for websites and moves them to the user (lost passkey, attacks on their password managers). It is not perfect, but it removes a lot of problems that we have right now (like more than a billion leaked passwords in the wild)
