But you still need a password to use a passkey right? So passwords aren’t going away, they’re just being used to a more secure way.
My mom can’t tell if a website is fake if it’s made to look exactly like Facebook, for example. So in a sense passwords are actually awful for users because they’re required to remember dozens of passwords and verify that a website is legit. If they just reuse the same password everywhere then they are vulnerable to another kind of attack because some website somewhere will mishandle it, forcing her to change every password on every site afterward.
Instead, she can have the best of both worlds by remembering one master password, that basically opens a magic app that will check that the website is legit and create/retrieve a unique passkey for each login.
