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.
While I would agree this sounds more secure, I’m always worried about people getting further locked in to Google’s products.
Hopefully this system won’t take accounts “hostage” by requiring you use Chrome to log in to them, but it’s Google, so…
Yet another anti-consumer, anti-privacy, “for the sake of children!” Type tactic from Google.
Mozilla is in the process of implementing passkeys in Firefox. This page tracks the status of various implementations of passkeys.
Did you just make up something that could happen and then get mad about it?

Passkey is an open standard. It’s not Google specific.
it’s passkeys. they are getting integrated in a lot of stuff right now, including password managers like bitwarden
Mot likely it won’t need to have chrome. However maybe Google services may be required.
However it is also very likely, if a device cannot support such feature, it will only require a password and 2fa.
