The website should display a qr code you can scan with your phone that allows you to then login, unfortunately a lot of sites don't implement this, and some don't implement backup codes. This isn't the fault of passkeys per se, but of poor implementations.

How does scanning the barcode with your phone log you into the computer? Does your phone need network access for that?

That's still a terrible solution. Plenty of people don't have phones that can do that, or dont have e it with them when they do etc..
