As I said, I was talking about phishing generally. Password was an example, and passkeys do help with some of the pain there, for sure.

> potentially to a point where phishing is not a viable threat

You keep ignoring the parts that are inconvenient to you :-). I said that at some point, increasing security means decreasing the freedom. It's a compromise. And as long as people have some freedom, someone will be able to abuse it. Phishing will always exist. The only way to prevent phishing entirely is to remove all the rights of everybody. If I cannot do anything, then I cannot do anything wrong. As long as I can do something, I can do it wrong. Phishing fundamentally leverages that.
