This is a deep, fundamental flaw in passkeys. It's just another example of enshittification disguised as denying end-user control "for their own good." There is no for-profit organization anywhere that I trust more than I trust myself, and there's no threat model where it's more likely I'll be socially engineered into giving up my long random password than that I'll suffer data loss.

Good for you; I'm ashamed to say that I've hurt my data sanctity far more than any criminal has, with 2am tinkering with my systems.

I have vaultwarden at home but I don't use it because I just know I'll fuck up my tunnel while I'm travelling or something.

This is my threat model: "hi mum. I need you to drive to my house and fish a keyboard out of the cupboard. Plug it into the big black box and type exactly what I tell you..."
