Why is the buzz around passkeys is back? I am seeing them way more often than they used to be. I think I have created passkeys for 2 apps and don't even know how that worked, it such a breeze that almost felt it wasn't secure lol.
In what ways the passkeys are different than authenticator apps?
Passkeys are meant to replace password-based login whereas TOTP apps are only meant as a 2FA method.
