  @ Anonymous3851 How to use it and what app do I need?

  I would like to ask, can passkey be stored and verified only through the browser itself, or must it be a mobile phone and other devices, which is a bit confusing. I'm Windows Edge/Chrome/Firefox and my phone is Android + Edge

  There's a typo. Should it be possible to store and verify the private key only through the browser itself, or must it be third-party software such as mobile phones?

  @ Anonymous555 is fine, if the browser is not found on the computer, you can use the passkey on the mobile phone by scanning the QR code

  @ Anonymous555 # 3 windows 10/11 has built-in passkey function, so windows can choose to use windows built-in passkey or mobile phone passkey (windows displays the QR code to scan the mobile phone to use mobile phone passkey) There are a few points: (1) The "Settings" of the new version of windows11 has a passkey manager. Windows 10 does not have a passkey manager, so win10 can create and use passkeys, but cannot manage passkeys (list, delete). (2) After scanning the computer QR code, the android phone will connect to cable.ua5v.com, but it is blocked. The mobile phone/computer needs to be directly connected to cable.ua5v.com, so the passkey of the android phone is not very easy to use. The iphone needs to use the built-in QR code scanner of ios, which can be used normally, and the effect is quite good. (3) The remote desktop RDP client of windows11 supports passkey, that is, the remote server can use the built-in passkey on the local windows or the mobile phone passkey. (4) Usually, most websites support multi-passkey authentication. It is recommended to add passkeys to at least 2 devices.

  I thought about this scheme for a long time, but it doesn't seem to be supported at present.

  @ Anonymous555 passkey is stored in the hardware, and apple is stored in the keychain, which can be synchronized. It can be stored on your computer and mobile phone, but only on this device.

  No, now the cross-device passkey discovery process is limited to scanning QR codes, and it is a mixed transmission of network + Bluetooth. The watch must be able to scan QR codes and connect to the Internet to be possible

  @ Anonymous555 is that the browser asks the operating system to call passkey, and all the browser can do is 1. Request a new public key from the operating system (registration) 2. Giving a random number requires the operating system to sign (verify) with the corresponding private key. The specific implementation of private key storage is determined by the operating system itself

  A few days ago, there was news that Apple gave up the Apple Watch camera, so it is estimated that it is impossible to realize passkey.

  @ Anonymous3853 # 9 @ Anonymous6659 # 11 Yes, after AI deep research, either connect the device by USB, or scan the QR code through the network + Bluetooth, ⌚ has no chance of passkey
