Thanks for clarifying. And I agree with you. Users doing manual domain matching by gut feeling and glancing on the critical path was not a great idea, but made even worse by jittery companies who confused DNS with their org chart. So in that sense passkeys are superior, even to (traditional) pw managers. I’d be the first to cheer for a great passkey integration in my pw-manager of choice.

What I worry about is that companies will (yet again) grossly misuse improved auth technology to make the combined auth flows an even bigger shit mound than it already is, both for users and the poor souls who have to implement them. I don’t know exactly how, but I’m sure they’ll find a way.
