The biggest problem I see is that it requires OS or browser integration. While possibly a better solution than simple passwords this feels like a vendor lock-in scheme.
Potentially the server can request hardware/software attestation that would limit the choice of password safe to approved ones only. We don’t yet know how big/likely this could be, but in theory it’s possible.
they can already force your to install their app to receive a push notification (cough… google…cough…). if they really want to lock you in they will. passkey or not.
well, if I’ve seen a vendor lockin before, and I’ve seen a couple, they’ll push them with open standards until they’re accepted and normalized.
Then suddenly the big players like Google and Microsoft will block all the open platforms sighting “security” forcing businesses to adopt closed proprietary versions while touting their free and easy too use platforms.

yup, and Netflix will use passkey attestation to make sure you can’t share logins with other users
