Quite a few people have sent me the "Passkeys are a trap. Do not use them." post on Substack. The post recommends people abandon passkeys and stick to passwords + TOTP, citing what appears to be concerns with attestation as the primary reason.

Device Bound Session Credentials: Making Stolen Cookies Useless

A stolen session cookie can be vastly more powerful than a stolen password. The attacker doesn’t need to phish the user, bypass MFA, or defeat their passkey; they simply replay the cookie and step...
