Apple I.D. does not use passkeys at this time in the way it works.
I agree.
Yahoo at least in my area does not seem to offer a passkey either. Maybe their doing a rollout.
I signed out of my Amazon app to see if iOS 17.2 allows passkey to work and yes it does work using passkey, but it still wants my Authenticator code and I get that, because I still have it enabled in my Amazon Acct..
The passkeys are secure for us to use to sign in from our devices, but until they replace our passwords I suggest leaving 2fa for codes enabled.
Why? Because a hacker still has that option to try your password until they do away with it.
Once a passkey is created they need to do away with everything else accept physical keys for those who still want to use it.
Does that make sense?
