What about the users who _aren’t_ technically able? That’s where this technology is most important at the moment.

That aside, what happens if you lose your current password? Every major platform out there has a method for recovery. Why can’t that be used for passkeys as well? I don’t see how there’s any incentive for companies to lock us out of accounts, when the platform is pointless without people consuming it.

We may have very little power, as users, but if enough people have trouble getting into their own accounts, that’s going to directly impact the bottom line of the company locking them out. From a purely capitalist standpoint, that’s a really good reason to make sure that that doesn’t happen.

Lastly, at least Bitwarden is planning on having passkey support in their password manager very soon, so there’s real competition that will allow users to be in full control of their own passkeys.
