A lot of services support passkeys. Microsoft even has an option to make my account "passwordless". Since they are more secure than passwords, will you be switching some / most of your accounts to passkeys any time soon? Interested to hear everyone's thoughts on passkeys. ๐Ÿ”‘

passkeys were invented for vendor lockin and will be used to add friction to migration, say if you wanted to move from apple to bitwarden well sorry you can't. fido originally made the protocol to sell their dongles and fought like hell to keep them off smart phones, platform vendors are only interested in this to lock you into their system too. there is absolutely nothing wrong with normal passwords.
