I have yet to see passkeys used as a sole method of logging in. There's always a traditional username and password setup first. There's always a recovery code set up for the passkey. I have yet to see passkeys offered as the only means of MFA. Which means that your backup methods still work. You can use them for recovering your access. I see passkeys as an optional convenience. It works well for me by that measure.

I agree, but there is no guarantee that it will stay like that. In fact, there are many people who argue to completely get rid of passwords.

This would be an argument to support keeping the passwords, instead of pushing for not adding passkeys in the first place.

And I would agree with that argument.
