The article is saying that while passkeys could theoretically be better, the current implementation is bad because it cedes power to centralized 3rd parties, entrenching users who now have no way out when that 3rd party is incompetent or corrupt.

But does it? There are non-centralized third parties you can already use. In fact besides my sketchy password manager, is it not the case that every password manager real people are already using, already support passkeys, so it’s the same power you were likely already ceding to whoever you were already ceding it to. But in the meantime a database leak doesn’t compromise things anymore. Unless I’m missing something? Which is highly possible.
