I’m sure people way smarter than me have this figured out, from the Google post:
> When you sign into a website or app on your phone, you will simply unlock your phone — your account won’t need a password anymore.
> Instead, your phone will store a FIDO credential called a passkey which is used to unlock your online account. The passkey makes signing in far more secure, as it’s based on public key cryptography and is only shown to your online account when you unlock your phone
So if I was a dumb kid, I could login to my parents bank accounts (or more / worst) if my mom gave me her 4 digit phone password for games earlier?
