    Passkeys are a great idea, but they are like passwords generated for you and stored in a given implementor's system.

    Until passkey systems support key export and import, I predict that they will see limited use.

    Who wants to trust your passkeys to a big corporation or third party? Vendor lock-in is a huge issue that cannot be overlooked.

    Let me generate, store, and backup MY passkeys where I want them.
