This seems like a good enough place to start: https://freedom.press/digisec/blog/passkeys-beginners/ The things to remember: 1. Passkeys are more secure than passwords and are immune to most kins of phishing attacks. 2. You can (and should) create multiple passkeys for the same account - at a minimum, one for each device you use to log into that account. It's easy enough to revoke/delete them if you (for example) change devices. 3. You can (and should) store at least one passkey per account in a password manager such as bitwarden so you have access to it across devices. Clearly, this does not apply to the passkey you use to log into bitwarden. :) 4. I am happy to provide more detail on the phone if you want.
