I’m not anti-passkey, but I got caught really off guard by a site automatically creating a passkey for me with zero user input. Imagine if I’d logged in on a shared device and now the device owner gets passwordless access to my eBay account!

    This is I think my biggest problem with the passkey ecosystem. It’s very poorly explained and yet every site is very eager to get me to switch to passkeys without making sure the user knows anything about what’s going on or the implications of any of it.
