Thanks for the write up, that's a really nice way to explain passkeys, better than most of the guides found online. It’s tough to convey just how big a leap passkeys can be to folks in the tech bubble, because they’re often disconnected from the everyday password headaches most people deal with.
For example, I was helping my mom pay a bill online the other day, and it turned into a circus of scribbled passwords in a notebook, adding minor tweaks to a common master password, having to rely on "forgot my password" emails just to also need to confirm via sms codes, too bad if you can’t access your phone. It was wild. Introducing passkeys into her workflow would totally remove these frictions.
Of course the way password managers are being treated like a new walled garden is not the best but this cannot be used to discredit what really looks like a valid solution to the problem of having to remember too many credentials.
