Indeed.

But what was (is?) wrong with FIDO / webauthn?

passkeys _are_ fido/webauthn.

  • but with emphasis on digital-only tokens,

    based on the marketing copy usage,

    from what I’ve seen.

    Is that pretty much everyone else’s experience?

    • i mean, all webauthn is digital tokens. if you mean software-based, you're incorrect.

      passkeys are hardware backed. it's the term for the browser or password manager exposing the secure enclave in your phone or computer as a webauthn credential store, just like a standalone security key.
