I’ve been using a password manager for ages, and passkeys for a long time now.
What about passkeys is a loss of control? I’m 100000000% more likely to use them when supported, usernames/passwords are so janky, as are SMS/email-based 2FA (and the stupid “magic passcode” that makes you check your phone/email every time you sign in); for average users it greatly reduces the risk of phishing, etc.
If I want to delete one I can do just that.
Websites that require username/password + passkeys are annoying as hell though.
