Passwords have problems, but passkeys have more

Implementing passkeys can be extremely complex and their user experience is often subpar. Even in ideal conditions with synced devices, they can pose challenges, especially if access is needed from a non-primary device. While passwords have their issues, such as potential breaches if reused across services, passkeys aren't necessarily a better solution. Using email as a second factor on the first login from a new device is a viable alternative. The author concludes that the complexity and challenges of passkeys don't justify their use over traditional passwords and email-based 2FA solutions.
