> Signing in with a passkey is three times faster than using a traditional password

Unless I'm using a password manager.

> Users are three times more successful signing in with passkeys than with passwords (98% versus 32%).

With my password manager, I almost never fail to sign in. Admittedly, the autofill does mess up on some websites and then I have to spend a few seconds fixing it.

On the other hand, I am pretty darn skeptical that only 2% of users with passkeys have trouble signing in. Are they not counting the people whose passkey accidentally got deleted, or who are on the wrong device, since those people (by the nature of passkeys) could not even attempt to sign in?
