Typing a password slows you down, so now you'll need to enter a 2fa and a password. Fucking brilliant!

You're ridiculous
Im not convinced. Considering my first examples of seeing passkeys were from Microsoft and Meta trying to force feed them to me just like they do with their AI, I'm in the camp of believing there's a more nefarious purpose behind them until completely proven otherwise. These companies are completely allergic to altruistic motives especially when it's something being pushed this hard.
i barely see the point of passkeys anyways, you can do 90% the same thing with a password manager which 1) keeps your credentials under your own control, and 2) adds another layer of security by encrypting your list of "passkeys" (i.e. very long passwords).
The biggest selling point with passkeys is the mutual authentication. Solving for attacker in the middle phishing is huge.
