Of all the recent publications with regards to passkeys, FIDO2, WebAuthn, etc., finally there's one with a simple and concise summary of the benefits:

> Strong credentials. Every passkey is strong. They’re never guessable, reused, or weak.

> Safe from server leaks. Because servers only keep public keys, servers are less valuable targets for hackers.

> Safe from phishing. Passkeys are intrinsically linked with the app or website they were created for, so people can never be tricked into using their passkey to sign in to a fraudulent app or website.
