PHISHING IS THE BIGGEST SECURITY THREAT: PHISHER MASKED AS THE ORIGINAL SITE ASKS YOU TO GIVE HIM YOUR KEY. PASSKEYS REMOVE PHISHING, ORIGINAL SITE NEVER ASKS YOU TO ENTER ANYTHING. Pre-passkeys security: 1. what you know (password or passcode) 2. what you own (device or MFA software generating number that is sync-valid with server for 30s) 3. what you are (fingerprint, face) Passkey only needs 2 but with important distinction: user is NEVER asked to type anything to any prompt, as that is subject to phishing)
