I always thought of passkeys as a convenient way to authenticate.

I am password-less on multiple services.

I have an authentication app on my phone that authenticate me when I am away of my computers. I have passkeys on my personal computer and another set of passkeys on my work laptop.

If I have to authenticate from your computer I simply use my auth app, click on "it's a public computer" and I am good to go.

The dude discovered a butter knife and he tries to replace his spoon with it just to realize it doesn't work well for eating a soup.

Why not just passkeys with a “magic link” fallback though?

This is the same as forgotten password so ytf not

With a password manager I'd argue its better but supports still not all there yet. I am waiting on bitwarden right now to support mull, basically its blacklisted, but it was added in the last 2 weeks so now its a waiting game.
