How do passkeys work?
🧠When you create an account using passkeys, your device creates a public-private key pair.
1. Public Key: The public key stays on the server of the service provider. It isn't sensitive on its own and can't be used to access your account.
2. Private Key: This key is kept on the user's device, like a smartphone, is always protected by a strong form of user verification and often isolated from other programs using dedicated hardware.
