Can someone tell me why I should care about this rather than just continuing to use my password and 2FA?
From just now reading the Docs regarding passkeys.
The main draw seems to be that it is easy to sign in (just requiring biometrics for example) and mainly a lot more resistant to phishing.
At this point, you probably shouldn't.
At some point, passkeys will be ubiquitous enough they'll be like low friction SSH keys for web authentication (i.e. there will be no shared secrets in the login process).
