So far, no one has commented on this large downside of passkeys: that it will promote the ease of sites to require login since it's much easier to generate a passkey than to remember a new password or even store it.

Thus, passkeys lubricate the path towards an ever-increasing login-based society where it becomes much easier to track and monitor your online behaviour. Although it has the benefit of making our existing lives easier by removing the need to remember our banking passwords, it also will bring us further into the realm of technology by making more and more services log-in based.

A greater ease of making a log-in based service means more revenue, more profit for Apple, and a greater integration of technology into our lives. Few people realize this because we have been conditioned to believe that new technology is solely for our benefit.

In reality, Apple is not concerned with our benefit. They are concerned with profit and making technology more efficient to accomplish that end. So although passkeys might seem nice, there is a serious downside to this technology.
