Without passkeys: The only one who can lock me out of my relationship with e.g. HN is HN. With passkeys: Now I can be locked out by HN or by the passkey provider. Sure I could use a local passkey provider, but the protocol provides a way for the site to enforce a whitelist of passkey providers, so it's not clear that would be an option. Particularly for businesses like banks which tend to adopt an approach of "if a security restriction is possible, it should be applied". Or even just the typical tech PM perspective of "we want to include logos for the log in with X, and I think more than 5 logos is ugly so let's just whitelist Lastpass, 1password, Google, Microsoft and apple and be done with it" | ||
