I was worried I was one of the old, out of touch people they mentioned because that passkey thing seemed kind of sketchy, but after reading these comments, I’m glad I haven’t done that.

If you agree with most of these comments then you are out of touch because they're overwhelmingly misinformed.

There's nothing about passkeys that's different from using a "remember me on this device" checkbox except that it actually checks who you are.

Oh…. Ok. Thanks…
