They sort of solve all these problems with a simpler implementation. But the disadvantage of passkeys is that you are dependent on a tech implementation ecosystem to use them, such as your phone, cloud keychain, etc. In practice, for a lot of people, that will mean tighter dependence on the smartphone, which is rather asinine as people should have the freedom to choose life without a big tech company providing for their needs. |

Presumably, you are already using a password manager at this point. Memorizing dozens of account passwords is not suitable for maintaining strong passwords.
Also, passwords still exist as a fall back if you need it, such as a situation you don’t have your device available. And not all accounts have to use passkeys.
Passkeys are effectively like ssh keys. Do ssh keys “lock you down” to specific devices? Sure they absolutely do unless you generate more keys or have some key management/sync workflow.
