Nostr Web Client

For the techies listening, what is the real story with passkeys, are they actually more secure?

I keep getting emails and messages to upgrade my security to use passkeys over passwords but I am not sure and haven't had a lot of time to try and research it properly for myself. So hoping the hive mind can help more.

I think the appeal lies mainly in the convenience but it is a better alternative than storing your credentials on a companies server.

I can definitely see the convenience factor but if your already using a password manager with mostly if not all individual strong passwords and 2fa OTP when you have the choice are you improving or going backwards using them?

Aren't passkeys stored locally on device but password managers on their servers? Idk, if their more private or not. They definitely are more convenient though.
