I have no idea what a passkey is and I will probably only learn what it is when they become mandatory
I will just use passwords + 2FA for the moment

Passkey is essentially a branding of webauthn. Instead of typing some code that changes, you just do something with some sort of device or key manager.
Plug in a yubikey and touch the button to authenticate. Easier.

Interesting thanks. I will probably just stick with passwords + 2FA for the moment because I'm lazy. It would be cool to have something like a hardware key though.

Here is a demo you can try if you're so inclined

I see, thanks. It mentions biometrics on that page. Maybe if my next laptop has a fingerprint reader then I should look into passkeys more.

I don't use the biometric authentication on my laptop and am able to complete the demo on it. Chrome asks me for a PIN that I save and provide when it asks on my laptop. I don't think biometrics are a requirement for passkeys.
