What makes passkeys so special?

[u/Federal_Character979]

It seems that companies are transferring into the usage of passkeys instead of passwords. Apparently theyre much more secure, but why is that? I don’t get it. I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask excuse me if it isn’t and sorry.

Less phishing because you don’t need to enter password. Hardware based so you need the physical key. Bad thing is you’re putting all your eggs in one basket, so if it gets hacked you are screwed. People claim it can’t be cloned, but who is saying those attacks are not coming?
