I’ve seen that passkeys are the new “go-to” for authentication but I don’t understand how they differ from other authentication methods. Thanks for your help.

Passkey is any other form of verification that is not a password (inputting a string of characters). For example biometrics like your face or fingerprints, a pin or swipe pattern.

The difference is that they cannot be used to log in to a different device even if it’s the same account. The selling point is that they are really fast to log into and almost as secure as passwords.
