One weakness with passkeys is that a person can't login to an account with just information that they know. I.e. they need a authorised device. Given that devices can be lost, it seems that folks that only own one device should not use Passkeys. Most passkey users should probably have a minimum of three biometric enabled - authorized personal devices if they want to use passkeys. This might be the biggest roadblock to adoption as few have this many personal devices.

Then the only issue is reauthorisation with the vendor when the only trusted device is lost. It would be surprising if vendors didn’t cater for this scenario.
