Authentication has become incredibly complicated for normal users.

I work in cybersecurity and need to think hard and draw diagrams to understand how modern authentication systems work (modern = something more than passwords). The implementation part is hidden from users but they only understand "password". Sometimes "fingerprint". Anything above that is really tough.

While Passkeys are an interesting development, it will take time before they are part of the authentication routine of standard users.
