If you need a tutorial for something that’s supposed to be as simple and transparent as a website authentication, your standard has already failed the usability test.

you're misunderstanding: this isn't specific to passkeys, this is for changing the password manager(s) used when filling passwords, 2fa codes and passkeys.

since the person I responded to couldn't find it, I linked tutorials. it amounts to opening the Settings app, going to "General" and then "AutoFill & Passwords", so it's also not terribly difficult to find compared to other iOS settings.

you could've at least tried to understand what's being talked about before blindly complaining.

This isn't a standards problem, this is an "Apple, Google, and Microsoft made using your own software difficult" problem. They have an interest in making their authenticators the default, and the settings UX on all three platforms makes it unclear that their authenticator is active as well as your own "third-party" authenticator choice.
