  The difference is that as much as being cut off from Google sucks today, right now it doesn't mean you also e.g. lose access to your digital porn library that you paid for.

    I think that’ll be the least of your worries. Think of all the authentication mechanisms you rely on: credit cards, food delivery, smart locks, uber, parking, ev charging, email, messaging, intuit, dmv and so on. Now imagine you’re permanently banned from them all with no appeal and no way to create new accounts.

      You must be insane if you use META or google for this. Have your own domain!

        Passkeys are a coordinated effort to take away that choice. Each site gets to decide which ID providers they support, or set funky policies based on provider (e.g., MS requiring you to type a password if you use a non MS authenticator app).
