> This makes it impossible to copy and paste your passkey to the wrong person (someone trying to trick you).

It also, unfortunately, means it's not possible (via most passkey implementations) to back those passkeys up to paper. Which is quite unfortunate: backing up to paper is one of the most stable and human accessible ways of ensuring redundancy and continuity, an inevitable but also oft-ignored part of credential management.

Security folks would like to pretend "solving continuity" isn't a problem, or is a problem that doesn't need to be accessible.
