I use a password manager. I don't care about it. Passwords are reasonably secure.
Passwords can be leaked, mostly by bad security on server side.
Passkeys use secure keys, it checks public keys on both sides and send private key to authenticate, without both keys can't login or if the server is compromised.
It's like GPG or SSH works.
It sends the private key? Are you sure about that?
Just like positrons are the opposite of electrons maybe passkeys send private keys and keep the public ones in PKI… wait…
