- the_snooze 3y agoPasskeys aren't "finger prints and face scans." They're dolled-up versions of SSH key authentication. Just as SSH private keys can have passphrases to unlock them, passkeys can have passwords, passphrases, PINs, or biometrics to unlock them too. Servers don't authenticate you on those PINs or biometrics; those merely unlock the associated private key.
