Passkeys – Under the Hood
Yes but the point is you don't
know
which sites are storing plain text passwords.

Yes. So you mean the end user can choose to never use any password-based sites, and only use passkey-based site. I guess that’s fair.

I mean in a hypothetical world where all sites supported passkeys you would then
know
that your secret information wouldn't be leaked.
But I agree it's much simpler to achieve that just by using a password manager.
