I'd also ask: Why can't MS explain them coherently? From just the first two FAQ items: > Passkeys are like digital keys ...

Joe has no idea what "registered" means in this context.

  Microsoft is using “like” in this case to be a simile. The passkey is being compared to a digital version of a physical key, the brass object used to unlock doors.
