Saw this [article from The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/2022/8/31/23329373/dashlane-passkeys-password-manager?fbclid=IwAR2osU0FeCEN-NeEM1Mj6NJc2XLhWLbtsntT30hq7eqglghWh-k7iH6Wn94) that is very hyped about it. But it seems like a token is stored on a device, and presumably someone could steal the device and have the same benefits of having all your passwords. I don’t understand how having no passwords makes anyone’s data safer.

A passkey is not more secure than a password, especially not one with 2FA enabled.
A passkey could eliminate the risk of social engineering or phishing attacks since there is no password to trick the user into revealing. Lowering or removing this risk is where the extra security would come from.
