I hate that there's no accepted definition whether passkeys should be considered MFA or not.

I hate that there's no accepted definition whether passkeys should be considered MFA or not. As a result, some sites treat it as MFA and you just provide passkey and you're in, which I like. Other sites still ask for a second factor after I provide a passkey which I think is stupid. At that point, it's simply another password I can't remember. I should not be prompted for a second factor after I log in with a passkey.
