Passkeys are fantastic! I encourage my family and friends to utilize them as an alternative to passwords whenever possible.

Compared to everything else, they are so much of a nicer experience. I despise the "click the link we just emailed you" so much. And MFA is a pain, and still has security issues: https://blog.talosintelligence.com/state-of-the-art-phishing...

It feels like the first step in a vendor lock-in strategy. Basically boils down to that. That's essentially my issue anyway.

I love being able to use my Yubikey instead of a password. And I don't feel I'm locked in then...
