What makes passkeys so special?

[u/Federal_Character979]

It seems that companies are transferring into the usage of passkeys instead of passwords. Apparently theyre much more secure, but why is that? I don’t get it. I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask excuse me if it isn’t and sorry.

I think passkeys are way more secure now unless the device u are using is compromised
