    I always feel like an old granny when I read about passkeys because I’ve never used one, and I’m worried I’ll just lock myself out of an account. I know I probably wouldn’t, but new things are scary.

    Are they normally used as a login option or do they completely replace MFA codes? I know how those work; I’m covered with that.
