I've yet to meet a non tech person irl who uses them. I went through the laborious process years ago setting my parents up with 1Password. They find passkeys very confusing addition. I have yet to see the massive UX win. If that were true I don't think we'd be having this conversation. Good UX becomes the natural state of things and we don't even notice. I've had trouble myself setting up passkeys correctly with my 1Password. This never happens with traditional passwords and 1Password

The win for passkeys is login with faceID. That people actually use.

My usernames and passwords auto-fill with faceID already. Lots of forms even (somehow?) auto-submit after that, don't even have to press a button.

The forms don’t. The browser does. There’s a set of heuristics.

The problem with autofill is it doesn’t help if the person keeps screwing up their passwords, changing them, or ends up with 5 different passwords in the password manager for the same site.

All of which I’ve seen.

There’s far more than that.
