I am exploring this now, actually got 2 students doing their thesis on this. It's very complicated and unnecessarily so.

My conclusion so far is that it's a promising technology, but no way as mature as I'd like it to be. Unfortunately we are stuck with emails and passwords for the foreseeable future, at least as a back-up mechanism for credentials recovery, which, funnily, makes the whole thing pretty much pointless.



Noone put any thought into the goals of passkeys and it shows.

You have to beat email/password with optional password manager (syncing, remembering , autofilling) and optional MFA (physical proof)

passkeys cant beat that in any area because they have no goals
