What is a passkey and how does it differ from a password?
In: Technology
Passwords are user-created strings of characters, whereas passkeys are system-generated cryptographic keys.
So not only are passkeys stronger (longer in size and more random) but also passkeys use private/public key encryption where the private key never leaves the device it is created on.
So without that private key – no access. But if you lose the device – also no access.
