I don't like passkeys | Ethan Hawksley

For users who previously reused passwords across all their sites, passkeys are a huge step-up.
That is exactly why passkeys are a good thing. Basically everyone reused passwords everywhere.

Maybe 5 or 10 years ago, but who doesn’t use a password manager these days? They generate random passwords and remember them for you
My current employer will not authorize the use of a password manager. I have a key fob for my Microsoft account, and another account does phone verification. I use one password. If they don’t want to put the effort in for account security then neither do I. I use a password manager for nearly all my other accounts.
