Passkeys are amazing and I love the idea of a password-less future (more for others than myself, but I'll take it too). However, I'm a little hesitant to lean on them because when my password manager (regardless of which one) fails to autofill a password, I can always copy and paste or even manually type it in. When passkeys go wrong, what's the backup?
For instance Safari apps don't support plugins. How do you use a passkey in that situation?
