Most of your comment seems to be "I'd rather stay with an extremely insecure authentication scheme to avoid learning anything new".

Yes, valuing simple and thus very robust things that you can have full control over is somehow something that can just have the explanation you've given, and nothing else. :)

Passwords are definitely simple and robust. Unfortunately, they aren't secure, a property we generally want in our authentication methods.

Still not secure enough, sadly. They can be captured, leaked, stolen, phished, etc, and that's if you use them correctly.

Passkeys can't be stolen, got it. :)

[stavros]

Yep, hardware Passkeys can't.
