Having seen the amount of people still keeping their passwords on sticky notes/on random scraps of paper/in the notepad.app on their phone/pc when there's literally a built-in biometrically secure app on the same device -- yeah, passkeys are safer for the *average person* for this alone. It forces you to use what you could already be using to store passwords in the first place. It also cuts down on tech-supporting the users that bork their profiles/lost their passwords/devices as we can verify manually and send an updated passkey out. From there. they can just save however they wish.

Not only do I have to support these kinds of users, I also have to log into no less than 3 machines with several realms of security at any given moment. Passkeys has turned the 10 minute first login of the day ritual into a 1 minute speedrun of me clicking "Use this Passkey" or scanning the QR code/tapping notification on my phone.

Bonus: My passwords don't expire now because they didn't get used in the first place.
