Using passkeys to sign into featureOS

What are Passkeys?

Passkeys provide you a secure way to sign in to an app or website, without needing to create and remember a password.

Instead of a password, a passkey uses Touch ID or Face ID to identify you. Each passkey consists of a pair of keys, one held by you and the other held by the app or website. The key pair creates a secure and private connection between you and the app or website.
