Having dealt with the fallout of people losing access to their accounts due to MFA, and not just from compromise, I am completely convinced that passkeys will result in the same. The whole system is completely ridiculous, and their whole claim of improved security has been demonstrated to be a fabrication.

Instead of just having the browser remember a password you enter the once on each machine you're probably going to have to register Every Bloody Device (as you can hardly copy private keys all over the place) so no more going to a cafe in some far flung place to check your email if you have no phone connection.
