Right now, the identity of an account is tied to knowledge of the email address and the password. Something you know. If you forget the password, you need access to the email account. With passkeys,the identity of the account is tied to either a BIGTECH account, or to physical devices. If BIGTECH locks you out or you lose access to all your physcial Yubikeys at the same time, you will never access the account tied to the passkeys again.
