I agree 100% i learned that my old school with whom I had linked to my windows computer and finished my degree with one day required passkeys rather than passwords on all devices. This force locked my windows PC back to passkey mode luckily I remember recovery account and got a passkey to work. But it took months to figure out why I had to use it. All the help board were said just click this button which was grayed out. Or set this register key which auto repopulated. It was an awful experience. I like my password as default

Ah yeah, Microsoft has this awful habit of just hiding the buttons for actions you don't have permission to do, which makes me feel like I'm being gaslit sometimes when a guide says 'there's a button right here' and there's not, and I've no idea if the button was just moved or if not, why it's not available (sometimes it's because I don't have permission, but sometimes it's because it's a different product with the same name and branding as a completely different product).
