First, a clarification: passkeys don't depend on cellphones. They can be used on desktops, laptops, tablets, and more as long as the device has a hardware component (e.g. secure enclave or TPM) That excludes me because I disable the TPM on my daily drivers. I leave it enabled on my windows machine that serves a specific purpose but I do not log into anything important on windows. I believe that passkeys will eventually make passwords obsolete but that day is not today or tomorrow. Maybe you are right, I honestly don't know. I just do see me being a part of it. It probably makes sense on my windows machine for the silly things I use it for. I agree that people are opposed to friction and that may drive adoption. I can also see potential for abuse with passkeys by making hardware ID's part of the picture but that is probably a discussion for a couple decades from now including but not limited to decloaking VPN users but those are probably spoilers for another time.
