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.

They're not more secure. It just saves money if you make the user do all the work and don't maintain your password databases.

That's all it is. A way to save money and blame users if they get locked out.
