Passkeys eliminate the need for password-based authentication
Password Overboard!
Conclusions
By implementing the passkey process, Apple and other major manufacturers are taking a major step toward replacing passwords. Presumably passkeys will become established in many areas. The convenience of being able to synchronize passkeys between your devices makes access easier. In theory, at least, this means that users can access arbitrary data at any time, from any location, with any device. At the same time, however, sharing passkeys with third parties is still one of the challenges that vendors need to address. Finally, the dependence on a platform ecosystem is a difficult concept to sell.
