Thoughts on passkeys and passwords

I've given up on Passkeys. Security is only as good as the weakest link. Since nobody allows me to create a passkey and then disable my password, the Passkey doesn't really provide the phishing-proof protection it promises, as currently implemented.

This is as bad as websites that let you set up a Yubikey as a 2FA method, but won't let you disable SMS.

I've deleted all my Passkeys and set up 2FA on any site that allows it. I'll revisit passkeys on any site that allows me to disable my password and only use a Passkey.
