Isn't there a workflow where you scan a QR code to confirm the pass key on your phone?

I've definitely done this, but not sure if the workflow was at the OS or browser level.

I'm honestly confused by all the negativity in the comments. Passkeys are great for convenience. Just leave your password login enabled as a backup. That defeats any security benefit, but oh well.

For people in this position, if they had their phone, they probably wouldn't be logging in on a computer anyway.

There is. Doesn't work on every browser but it's really nice and I use it routinely.
