My opinion on passkey is that they are a wonderful tool to speed up the authentication process with sites in some cases (which turns out to be most cases). Rather than typing your password (hopefully on the correct site...) and then sometimes confirming with a magic link or a 2FA code, all you do is use your platform native's authentication conformation method (face recognition, fingerprint, PIN code, whatever) and you're done. This works independently of which site you're on. Just as with password managers: If you use the OS built-in solution, you're locked into a specific platform (though I admit that with passwords it's at least possible to move them manually, albeit super painful if the passwords are secure), so if you're using multiple platforms concurrently use a password manager that supports all your platforms - most if not all password managers these days support passkeys. For all breakages related to passkeys, the same applies as with passwords: You use the account recovery flow (which often is the weakest link on any site). As such, passkeys feel like a wonderful shortcut with even slightly improved security (you can't present a passkey to the wrong site) in the default case.
