I dunno. Should we then proceed to keep up the awful situation we currently have for the 99%, just to avoid any inconvenience to the 1%? That's not how democratic societies usually work. What reasons are there for not using Passkeys? So far, the only things in the threads here were vague fears of vendor lock-in by people who apparently overlooked the fact that Passkeys are supported by a lot of password managers other than just iCloud Keychain and Google, including open source software. What is this 1% that we should sacrifice a clear solution to password breaches for?

As I said: Most likely the ideal solution really is passkeys, just not in their current form. I just wish their governance was a bit more aligned with users rather than just big tech. This would be something where Mozilla could really shine, for example, but I haven’t really seen them in the relevant forums, and they were quite late on WebAuthN as a whole. Some focus on avoiding lock-in and (somewhat orthogonal to that) enabling non-cloud credential duplication would be great, to name a few remaining issues.
