> So far, no one has commented on this large downside of passkeys: that it will promote the ease of sites to require login since it's much easier to generate a passkey than to remember a new password or even store it.
Actually, this ease of use may be beneficial to privacy. Sites don’t need user generated/remembered passwords to require a login, they can just use the sign in with Google/Facebook/Apple buttons. Because it is easier than remembering another password, users will typically use those options. Passkeys is more private than signing in with Google/Facebook/Apple, while also providing more privacy than those options.
