This. Honestly, most of the arguments I read against passkeys just sound like “old man yells at cloud.”

It’s not that difficult. Spend 10 minutes researching the topic and you’re fine. Passkeys are so much more convenient than having to use passwords. When implemented right, it’s literally one click from opening the login page to being signed in. On all of my devices.

It's not difficult. It's undesired. It makes simple things slightly easier and makes difficult things impossible.

Exactly the sort of behavior that will suck in the unsophisticated user, and then leave them with no options when it fails.
