> Because passkeys usually sync and backup
And when they don't? What then?
One of the biggest issues with the implementation of passkeys that I've encountered is that I'm not offered the choice of where a passkey will be stored. It's just a fight between my password manager, my browser and my OS which all try to be "first" to intercept the passkey request, and if the "wrong one" gets it there's no way to say "actually no, I didn't want you to handle this passkey request".

This is one of my biggest issues. My family full of normal people are nothing more than dark pattern victims. And if you teach them to avoid certain dark patterns, big tech is quick to update them.
The whole industry is turning into one big scam.
