Why passkeys are a step back for personal security: examining account lockout risks, platform lock-in, hardware key limits, and fragile recovery flows.
I think that is only an issue based on what Passkey attestation is configured by the relying party? From what I have read a lot of public facing companies implementing it will have passkey attestation statements configured as None, which typically means there isn’t an authenticator certificate verification.
Only companies issuing their own passkeys on company hardware has a reason to enable attestation (forcing use of company approved devices throughout). Any public facing service has no reason to use attestation.
