>Ignore all the lock screen and biometric stuff that the marketing is screaming at you. You can generate Passkeys on your computer just like we’ve been doing with SSH keypairs for decades. You can store those keys however you like, so long as you have a way to feed them into your web browser to provide to the service at login-time. You can copy your Passkeys around as much as you like, to any device you like. You can share them with friends.
