DHH on passkeys https://world.hey.com/dhh/passwords-have-problems-but-passkeys-have-more-95285df9

Basically the benefit doesn’t justify the implementation cost.  What say you /dev ?

I don't understand the complexity involved here wrt windows hello and whatnot, but it seems to me that a passkey should function exactly like a physical key, except the lock cannot be picked and they key cannot be copied, and the lock can be set up to accept multiple keys (in case you lose your key)

Allowing the keys to be duplicated creates problems around duplicating the keys -> keys can be stolen
