>In this way the promise of passkeys, and the main marketing message around passkeys, is that they are phishing-resistant. This isn't strictly true though

So, it is not true.

However, what's true is that if you're arrested, the police won't have to ask Google/Apple/anyone to give them access to your accounts.

They'll just hold the phone to your face, and get a convenient list of all your accounts and a means to log into them.

Granted, you'd need to have biometrics involved. But you can be simply asked to unlock the phone, if that's FSB doing the asking, you won't say "no".

As with any password manager installed on your phone. Passkeys don’t claim to solve and are not intended to solve that particular kind of threat.
