Yeah, I think people will lose their passkeys a lot. I think companies are happy to provide another service ("passkey syncing") that you will pay for for life. Back In The Day you could be a freeloader by remembering your passwords like a nerd. No longer. The loophole is closed!

That said, passwords are actually so bad that anything would be an improvement over them. While a stealable passkey vault sync'd to your malware-infested Windows laptop is not ideal for security, it's sure better than typing your bank password into your favorite forum because you don't understand that website administrators can see your password when you type it on their site. (Not to mention phishing.)
