Passkeys already work with Secure Enclave and across multiple devices. Yubikeys require a purchase and potentially multiple keys.

Passkeys will win the war for the everyday user, and Yubikeys will remain a niche IT item. Their focus on FIPS audiences is good though as that should provide a longer-term reliable source of sales.

I hope Yubikey survives long term because I like their tech implementation (a key must be present AND physically touched to activate). I travel much more confidently with Yubikey locked accounts. I know where my Yubikeys are at home and I don't generally take them out with me.

The war for better securing online accounts benefits us all though. haveibeenpwned hasn't gotten any smaller over the years :/
