I don't understand that argument - passkeys behave exactly like password manager managed random passwords. Exactly the same - even same apps use them.

Surely that's the standard for security for "people who know what they're doing"?!

I don't trust my phone with my passwords store, they are on a password manager (some in firefox, some in other sw) on a laptop (and backed up to another encrypted machine).

Have you tried switching your password manager for passkeys?

Maybe because you had an iPhone and your new Phone is an Android, or you don't like the prices of 1password etc.

At the moment you are stuck.
