Finally passkey support for the next update!

hcal4

@zenbrowser how do passkeys work from the users perspective? Just plug in a USB key and it unlocks your accounts? Is it an extra step used with your passwords?

@hcal4 @zenbrowser They don't need to be a USB key, they are often stored in password managers as well. Most sites Ive seen let you use them to log in without typing a username or password.

@hcal4 @zenbrowser It's intended to be another sign-in method, essentially an alternative to passwords using cryptography. You can use a USB key or you can use a password manager. I know 1Password and Bitwarden support passkeys, and it seems like Apple's Passwords app comes with support for it.
