Support was first offered in May, but now Google suggests it as the default choice.

Passkey is some sort of specific unique key to a device allowing to use a pin on a device instead of the password. But which won’t work on another device.

Now I don’t know if that key can be stolen or not, or if it’s really more secure or not, as people have really unsecure pins.

      Lol. I guess you learned a word from the CEH you flunked.

      Edit: but yes, passkeys greatly reduce the attack surface compared to a password.

      And when using a properly hardened device like a yubikey, you can actually minimize your attack surface to as low as it’s ever going to be in a web context.
