Swapping social login for passkeys
Facebook has been bugging me about business verification for some time. If I want to continue to use "login with Facebook " I will have to create a Facebook Business Account and verify my business.
I'm not a big fan of Facebook, the only reason I still have a Facebook account is to be able to use developers.facebook.com for the social login.
As I'm not interested in creating a Facebook Business Account, I'm exploring alternative ways to make registration and login easy. In that light I'm exploring passkeys and was pleasantly surprised with this passkey demo: [https://www.passkeys.io/](https://www.passkeys.io/)
It's easy to register/login, add multiple passkeys, give each passkey a different name, etc. I'm not familiar with Hanko (the team behind [passkeys.io](https://passkeys.io)). They seem to be just another cloud-based identity and authentication platform, albeit with a nice open source framework and a self hosted version.
If I'm going to implement passkeys, I will do this as an additional authentication method, along regular email/password and one-time/magic link login.
Does anyone have experience introducing passkeys, did it confuse users or did it help your signup/login flow? Would love to hear your experience with this.

Edit: Downside of passkeys is that you still need to verify the provided email.
