Debate over whether passkeys' lack of backup makes them phishing resistant

A technical discussion is underway about passkeys, the passwordless login credentials promoted as a phishing-resistant replacement for passwords. One participant noted a Reddit argument that the inability to back up passkeys is precisely what makes them phishing resistant, since secrets that cannot be exported cannot be handed over to attackers. Commenters are weighing whether that trade-off justifies the lack of portability across devices.
Why now: Passkeys are being adopted more widely and users are debating the security trade-offs of their design.
