I am fully invested in the Apple keychain ecosystem, I’ve got multiple Apple devices (laptops and a phone) and passkeys have been incredible. Haven’t seen any of these issues.
I can understand the frustration from the author’s point of view, but I live with the other side of 2FA through weak SMS every day. My users can easily be tricked into giving up their 2FA code while being social engineered, and passkeys offer me as a developer a way to give them a more secure solution that I don’t have to worry about them reading aloud to someone calling and pretending to be CS. This is a weakness in the core of 2FA via SMS, and the author seems to be just hand waving away from that. No one SIM swaps their way to compromising a passkey, and no user can share their passkey with a scammer as far as I know.
