I think passkeys were made to work in mind with complete idiots (here's a pop-up, tap it, now you have access to website without password, don't think about where it was saved or that it exists at all). I can understand parts of IPv6 like Router Advertisement being like that but there is so much customizability for the user that I can't really see them being similar that way.

Except they never considered that "complete idiots" could lose access to their phone's passkeys.

  They did, that's why they sync

    Right... just let me pull out my non-existent spare phone when mine breaks or gets lost.

      It'll work if you have a laptop on the same account, iCloud or 1password or whatever else. If you only had a phone, you set the account up again on your new phone.

        How does a person sync their passkeys between devices?

        iCloud, Chrome, 1password, etc

To make it about security on both sides: IPv4 NAT is idiot-proof. IPv6 replaced that with a firewall that may or may not be default-deny.
