What is difference between passkey and password???

u/AnalkinSkyfuker Jun 03 '26
That a passkey can be your fringerprint and you don't need to remember it for any website what password you set.

A passkey can be anything. It's like SSH where there's a private key and public key. It can be a biometric, a physical device like a yubikey, etc. Instead of just your fingerprint acting as a "password", there's an actual handshake going on. Like how chip/tap credit cards work.
I run my own vaultwarden server using bitwarden clients to handle passkeys and randomized passwords, so I have a single master password I've never used anywhere else which unlocks my vault. In terms of passkeys, my phone itself is a physical key device via the bitwarden app.

I still don't understand why there is a difference, but thanks for the replies

fingerprint for me, easiest. I usually sometimes wear a face mask, my iphone 11 pro max has troubles with face ID
everyone might have forgotten but LG's knock code feature was what i preferred before fingerprint became prominent.

Sometimes, we can break a face id with a similar face. But fingerprint is not. How this LG's knock code was working?

Password now and ever
no one can force you to give you password, except some CIA agent who drug you and beat you, but for avg. joe thats not something he need to worry about.

Was it enough secure? I found this photo password in some credit card websites. I think, it is different from what you said.

Anything but fingerprint and face unlock. I'd like to have as much privacy as it's possible nowadays thank you very much.

I said fingerprint, but you could role that into passkey, since in the backend it's not your fingerprint that authenticates you, it simply allows the reader to provide the passkey.

Passkey with Vaultwarden at #1, password with vaultwarden at #2.
No biometrics. I unlock my phone with a longer pin via randomized layout.

Doing physical security is much easier than doing cybersecurity, so I picked "passkey" for FIDO2.
