Still amazed that on HN of all places people are confused by or having problems with passkeys. I have yet to see any of the issues people are guesstimating could become problems and adopted on day one.
I have had two poor experiences, where passkeys I set up at one point stopped working and I had to generate a replacement, but this was not a problem because I have yet to come across a site that didn’t continue to offer other means of logins.
I don’t see anybody complaining about the login-via-emailed-link which seems to be the much more common trend these days and which I really dislike because it introduces an unwanted delay in login (and I have come across many sites for which this is the only means of logging in).
