Just like every other piece on passkeys it does not justify them, at all.

Passwords have problems, but less than putting all authentication secrets in a single basket or ecosystem is (which is what big tech fundamentally wants).

Passkeys are a solution to a manufactured problem, and keeps getting pushed because it is a useful big tech honey trap that solidifies their user's captivity in their ecosystems.

Those are pretty strong claims.

KeePassXC has support. Many people use Vaultwarden. And so on.

Also, end users are already locked into Chrome and Safari (and Meta's webview and even worse fates).

Passkeys right now has upsides and downsides, like all technology.

I think they are both too complex/clunky on the data/spec/API side, and not complex enough on the UX/lifecycle side. But likely both will evolve based on the usage patterns that get solidified.
