I might be getting older but my memory is still good enough to remember a couple of secure passwords (secure, as in: 20+ chars long random strings), one of them being a password to my KeePass database, and the other to the email account where I keep a backup copy of it.
I would hate to be locked out of my accounts only because I lost my phone or Yubikey.

In my mind, a passkey authenticates the device, while the password authenticates you, the user. Passkeys let us limit which devices are allowed to connect with our credentials. A hacker in Eastern Europe could steal my login, but if their laptop isn't authorized, it makes an account takeover much harder.
(Side note: This is also why I'm uncomfortable putting TOTP codes and passkeys in the same password manager as the regular login credentials. It effectively defeats the whole purpose, turning multi-factor authentication back into single-factor again.)

I have bitwarden on all of them. I can coordinate 2FA TOTP easily. I don't see passkey adding value right now, it's simply added an extra model, alongside the others, which doesn't even reliably work.
Given their non-migrating quality, I can't federate can I?
