Some mention of using a passkey generated for site A on site B. Seems to be tied to the device. How is this better than a password? From my understanding… For each site you generate a unique passkey, so sharing is not a thing. Passwords require the site to store a secret that can be stolen. Passkey stores the secret on the client device so hacking the site does not give access to your secret.
