GitHub announced today the introduction of passwordless authentication support in public beta, allowing users to upgrade from security keys to passkeys.
SQRL’s problem is it only focuses on the login component. It doesn’t really solve storage/backup/sync. All three have to be extremely easy to use otherwise any authentication system is a non-starter for the general public.
Passwords might not be secure, but they are user friendly (if you allow bad passwords). That ease of use cannot be taken away.
I like it on principle, but haven’t tried any passkey stuff yet. Truth be told, I kinda liked SQRL, but that is clearly going nowhere.

Excellent point. I’ve got exactly one SQRL login and even it was just to play with it. I never got as far as real world considerations. :)
