I don’t believe Linux supports passkey in the os.

Not sure if this is the same thing, but KDE (on a linux system) presents me with options to login with smartkey/fingerprint, so it might, I'm guessing? I dunno if thay's what passkeys are referring to, but if yes, then I think it does.

    If it'a not (ie biometric, etc), what's the difference or what is it on Windows?

    My understanding is that window's passkey support differs from something like what is offered by linux distros in that, instead of storing your passwords in a strongly encrypted, audited, and trustworthy store like 1pw or similar, windows instead stores them in the OS.

    Which personally I consider a con, I don't trust windows to store pictures without fucking it up, why on earth would I give them passkeys?
