TheGreatGreenStar added a comment to T321708: MediaWiki should support passwordless login with passkeys.

Regarding the line

Someone needs to decide first whether we want to push forward at all. Arguably the technology is not that mature yet (see e.g. https://arstechnica.com/security/2024/12/passkey-technology-is-elegant-but-its-most-definitely-not-usable-security/ or this recent vulnerability) and used on few other large websites.

That number has increased as according to findings from the FIDO Alliance, 48% of the world’s top 100 websites
have already integrated passkey support. (https://fidoalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/World-Password-Day-2025-Final.pdf)
We can also see that many companies are actively working to increase passkey adoption and usage including amazon, Microsoft and google: https://fidoalliance.org/passkeypledge/#See-Who-Has-Signed-the-Pledge

Regarding recovery, perhaps to go fully passwordless users could be required to either have at least 2 passkeys OR one synced passkey (if we can detect this). If a user only has 1 local-bound passkey it should still bypass password but login via password + 2fa could still be possible to prevent lockout.
Alternatively passwordless with only 1 passkey regardless of type could be allowed BUT users then would be required to verify saving recovery codes by using one upon creation of their first passkey to ensure a recovery method.
