I’ve seen tech-savvy people getting phished into entering their password on a fraudulent site, despite the password manager blaring alarms that the login looked fishy.

This cannot happen with passkeys at all because crypto magic.

I assume a phishing site wouldn't even attempt to use the passkey because it can't. So wouldn't it just ask for a password, and at that point, if you're gonna fall for it, you'd go and grab the actual text password anyway?

My password manager matches off of domains too, so it wouldn't suggest to autofill on a phishing site.
