That's a great article, thanks. In fact, it's a fantastic article. I read it a couple of weeks ago, and learned a lot. Thanks.
Apple's changes do degrade security, but I think it is important to note that even with those degradations, Apple passkeys are still many orders of magnitude more secure than passwords.

Thank you! 100% agree - realistically, given their scale, the tradeoff made sense. The UI would have been fairly un-intuitive for users had they left the option to do both device-bound keys and passkeys.
