ok.
How do you add a new device to your account without a password or the old device?
Password, then get a prompt about registering a new passkey.
After that I can use the passkey registered on either device.
Edit: to clarify, most sites still let you log in with a password after you’ve registered a passkey
The the account is still as vulnerable as a password.
Yes, but you’re less susceptible to phishing when you login with a passkeys.
It’s also makes logging in faster.
