Until Google "kills" passkeys as a default for personal accounts? They probably won't. Google can't kill passkeys in general btw, it's an open standard not a Google thing.
They will find a way
Insane take. What other open standards do you believe Google is capable of killing? It's just one company they aren't god.
They kind if killed JPEG-XL
Kinda. Given that nobody else supported it Google dropping it did sort of kill it. Passkeys are very different as they are already supported by Apple, Microsoft, and scads of smaller companies.
