You generate another passkey is your answer. How do you do that? The exact same way you do today. Why would you need to delete invalid passkeys? You wouldn't.

How can I do that, if Passkeys are the only option to log in?

If I can just use a password to log into a website without Passkeys, then Passkey is useless and doesn't add any security benefit.

I sell my old (and no longer updated) phone or PC and don't want someone to get access to my account by getting access to the secret keys.

An non-revocable authentication mechanism is just stupid.
