Passkeys aren't new—YubiKeys have supported them since mid-2018 under the FIDO2 standard. The real dividing line isn't hardware versus software, but whether a credential is copyable across a cloud account or bound to a single device. This conversation breaks down the FIDO Alliance's split between synced passkeys in managers like 1Password and device-bound keys, why attestation matters for high-assurance logins, and why Trezor handles FIDO2 better than Ledger's incomplete resident-key support.
