And when they do they only offer them as the second factor.

Yes, let me first input my password (from a password manager), the let me approve with a passkey that is meant to make my password not necessary.

But email based login: FUCK THAT SHIT.

Depending on the security needs using hardware based security as a second factor while still requiring some other form of auth is not actually a bad idea.

I actually prefer using FIDO2 as a second factor only cos I use YubiKey which can only store 100 RKs.
