I recently transferred almost 100 website credentials off of paper and into Bitwarden for my elderly parents, one of whom is developing dementia. During the work, I noticed that several websites (e.g., Amazon) and Bitwarden itself were very aggressively trying to lock me in to passkeys. I rejected every attempt except somehow Amazon still enrolled my dad's account.
There is no way that older people will ever understand passkeys. Corporations should immediately stop this foolish push to passkeys where often absolutely no explanation is made to the user of what they are or why anyone should care. My parents are sticking with unique 20-character passwords per site.
Don't even get me started on trying to explain mobile app 2FA to them...
