I refuse to use Passkeys because:

  • The technology is being pushed very hard with dark patterns and hardly any documentation.
  • The companies pushing it are not trustworthy when it comes to account recovery flows and edge cases.

There are many more issues with the technology but I think this is already enough to opt out.
