MODERATORS
Passkeys also aren't lock-in. You control them, and your FOSS password manager likely already supports them.
you are required to use a 3rd party. that third party has control. you can't switch. that is lock-in.
I'm using a FOSS password manager for like 6+ passkeys right now, on some of the biggest sites. So this is just demonstratably false.
