I actually think that the moment this will become a larger thing is the moment third-party companies pick it up and start using their own version of the tech.
As we start to see things like the MS Password Safe utility, but for passkeys, become more common, I think we'll see larger use of passkeys and the phasing out of passwords entirely.
Edit: I realize this doesn't reach the other points that you have questions about, so very briefly:
-I think that at first, there will be the risk of these very concerns you're pointing out, but the support staff wil adapt to accommodate this in the future. Still might be a bitch of a process to recover a passkey though.-I think NFC scanners that want your information are going to end up becoming semi-prevalent as a method to try and steal peoples' passkeys. AirDrop is already ahead of this by requiring you to acknowledge whatever it is you try to receive, but NFC on Androids (and possibly NFC for Apple products too) still do not have that second step of acknowledgement
Half-Life's 25th anniversary is today, and Valve posted a documentary about its creation to celebrate!
I didn't play Half-Life when it came out, but I did play Half-Life 2 right as it released and that got me to go back and play the first title. After that, I found myself following Valve quite closely and enjoying many of their titles over the years. It's not my number one title, but Valve as a whole, and Half-Life, are a part of some core memories for me.
