passkey

"The latest tool offered by some browsers and devices is the passkey... 2FA is better than a password only, but we must be mindful of fatigue and mindlessly clicking 'approve.'"

Microsoft has been building passkey support for some time, using Windows Hello and other authentication tools.

The term “passkey” will also be used by major players Microsoft and Google.

A user’s phone can store a unique FIDO-compliant passkey and will share it with a website for authentication only when the phone is unlocked.
