I kinda hate the push towards passkeys. If you have two factor Auth, going to passkeys makes you go back to 1 factor, aka less secured.
There's also more and more 2FA fatigue attacks going on, and they can affect passkeys too, and if you don't have a 2FA that involves the user writing a code on the 2FA device, passkeys could be quite possibly worse than passwords
It's still more secure than password+sms/email
Barely.
