I honestly don't like passkeys, at least how they currently work. It seems the intent is to replace MFA with just one factor. I prefer 2FA with TOTP separate from my password manager, which means an attacker would need to exploit both to access my accounts.

That said, it's a sticking point for many people, so I hope Bitwarden gets it soon. I just probably won't use it.

From my understanding, passkeys is supposed to be something you have (phone) and something you know (pin) or something you are (biometrics)

I still use hardware keys like a yubikey (something I have) and my normal password via a password manager.
