Google will now make passkeys the default for personal accounts (arstechnica.com)

Passkey is some sort of specific unique key to a device allowing to use a pin on a device instead of the password. But which won't work on another device.

Now I don't know if that key can be stolen or not, or if it's really more secure or not, as people have really unsecure pins.

Thanks for posting this video. Very good explanation for those unfamiliar with the technology.
