Some points that occur in multiple parts of the document :
- it was already there, but passkey is the true passwordless login, when using webauthn as a second factor, we use "security key" instead
- Identity Verification is actually called User Verification (UV in short)
- When starting a webauthn authentication, it is not necessarily the password manager which is triggered, it can be a browser-managed pop-up, or OS depedent

| - As a passwordless login method (1FA): if your passkey supports user verification, it handles both factors in a single gesture, no password required. User verification means your device confirms that you are the authorized owner before releasing the passkey, typically via a biometric check (fingerprint, Face ID) or a PIN. For example, a macOS passkey protected by Touch ID supports identity verification. | ||
