Common misconception. The whole point of a password manager is so that you can have a unique password for every account. This means that of one site is compromised, only that one site is lost.

Passkeys take this a step further by taking a keylogger out of the equation since you’re no longer typing the password. And by using biometrics instead of a password to unlock your password manager, no password is ever typed significantly reducing the ability to steal it. Even better if it asks for both.

And to the point of one point of failure, this is always the case as you could get knocked on the head and forget all your passwords. You now only have to manage one potential point of security failure rather than however many accounts you have online.

Yubikey isn't really biometrics though is it? You can like it with any body part or even a hot dog if you wanted.

At the end of the day, if someone is targeting you, specifically, they WILL succeed. See the Wrench Method. The point is making yourself a more difficult target for the blanket hits and data leaks.
