Good riddance. Any system that limits my options as power user I will not promote. Lots of services only let you enroll single passkey and "hardware attestation" would only make it even bigger lock-in.

I like passkeys as idea for stonger security, but author somehow thinks that discrimination against devices is a good idea.

Sorry, no. Just no. I dont want my bank or paypal require me to use iPhone in order to login to my account.
