The terminology is definitely a mess, but I believe at least “passkey” has never referred to hardware authenticators. Those were usually called “security keys”

- vanburen 2y agoAgree. Passkey should be reserved for credentials that can be synced or exported to different providers, as this is what is most analogous to a password from a user perspective. There should be a different standardized term used for hardware bound keys. So users wont get confused.
