What are Passkeys?

Passkeys are a new type of login credential and the easiest and most secure way to log in to your WordPress site.

Rather than creating a password and risking the chance of forgetting it or reusing the same password on all of your accounts, making yourself vulnerable to hackers, passkeys use some digital data from your computer or phone when logging onto a server. You approve each use of that data with an authentication step, such as fingerprint, face recognition, checking a PIN code, or the login swipe pattern familiar to Android phone owners. 

You'll have to have your phone or computer with you to use passkeys. You can't log onto a passkey-secured account from a friend's computer without a device of your own.
