I know that, and you know that, but passkeys are supposed to solve security-related problems by reducing friction.

What passkeys can't overcome is people dismissing the popups asking if they want to switch to passkeys or create them.

The problem with passkeys is they are 20 years too late, and no one cares.

    I think it'd actually be pretty easy. Just ask:

    Trust this device, with biometrics?

    Most people will say yes on their Apple/Samsung/Google devices.
