Nothing of this explains anything, at best it increases the confusion. If anything, all this mumbo jumbo pushes me further away from using passkeys than before.

the non-mumbo-jumbo version is:

- you can't get phished

- you dont need to worry if your password is securely stored

    And what if I need to use a different device?

      - Your Passkey Manager generally offers some form of multi-device sync. Most Passkey Managers are the same as Password Managers so it may even be a multi-device sync you are already used to.

      - Devices support a flow where a QR Code kicks off a Bluetooth LE handshake between two devices to sign a one time Passkey challenge. That can be used for one time login on devices you don't sync your Password Manager to or to help bootstrap additional Passkeys on the new device.

      my passkeys are in 1password, and accessible from any device i have 1password installed on. it's a very smooth experience (both adding new ones and using existing ones).
