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.

Okay, update: I’ve been told that the automatic passkey upgrade is only meant to create a passkey in the same password manager the password came from, so it shouldn’t grant persistent access to the credentials to someone who didn’t have access to the password. The fact I may have gotten a passkey in a password manager that I don’t normally use looks like a bug, not how this is meant to work.
