We had originally planned to go all-in on passkeys for ONCE/Campfire, and we built the early authentication system entirely around that. It was not a simple setup! Handling passkeys properly is surprisingly complicated on the backend, but we got it done. Unfortunately, the user experience kinda sucked, so we ended up ripping it all out...
I use a password manager with passkey support and still disabled all my passkeys. The user experience for passkeys is so much worse even when support exists.
I’d like to hear more about the specifics if the issues you ran into. I keep delaying my options to start using passkeys because it’s a lot to take in at once and the only services implementing them seem to be the most important ones that I really don’t want to experiment with my ability to acess them. I haven’t even been looking at the details of each service’s implementation.

Really? I just used a passkey for the very first time with Google and Bitwarden and it worked quite nicely. What about passkeys is worse for you?
What’s the problem with combination of manager and passkeys?
