Passkey

What crypto means by it

A login tied to your device and unlocked with your face or fingerprint, replacing the password outright. Nothing to remember and nothing to phish, because there is no secret to type.

What you already know this as

Exactly what your banking app already does when it opens with Face ID instead of a PIN.
