What am I missing with passkeys?
I am finally getting around to putting passkeys into action.. but something isn't adding up.

@jonpw Yes, I agree with everything you said -- I am also familiar with public key cryptography as a concept. Note that I didn't equate the two methods; I was referring to the security strength of each method. The second (and potentially more critical) part of my sentence refers to MFA with a hardware key, which would operate on public key cryptography at least for Webauthn-based systems. It seems to me that an added layer of 30-char password would add to the mix, not take away.
