Passkeys are for logging into websites.
Passkeys seem to be equivalent to public addresses of blockchain wallets.
I think the main difference is that passkey are recoverable but blockchain wallet keys are private
No, and this analogy is completely unhelpful
Can you expand on why?
One argument could be that FIDO2 and WebAuthn primarily rely on algorithms like RSA and non blockchain elliptic curves, but extending the algorithms covered in standards shouldn’t be too difficult as open source libraries exist.
