I don't use passkeys but the thing that raised a red flag for me while reading the article that the OP is responding to is the "non-copyable" property. It's not possible to prohibit delegation[0], so the idea that a key can only be used on one specific device necessarily involves a form of DRM/wishful thinking.

The entire point of passkeys is to force DRM onto all corners of the web. It lets sites require attestation of the software running on the client device. Once they use that to eliminate hardware and operating system competition, they’ll ramp up surveillance and censorship even higher than current windows levels.

Passkeys are the second prong of the age verification push.

If you want more evidence, read up on Project 2025’s plans for forcing the internet to adhere to American Christian Nationalist values, then try to figure out how that could work in the absence of passkeys.

Yeah I think the OP is being naive about the risk here.

I do not think there is adequate reason to believe that FIDO Alliance members are supporters of Project 2025.

		I think there are a number of people who mean well that aren't aware that they are creating the means for state control of computing.
