Comment on How do passkeys work across devices?

How do you sign in on a device where you’re not allowed to install third party software?

You don’t. Passkeys are very ecosystem-centric right now. If you are in have apple, google, or Microsoft, they will all allow you to nice your passkeys around to different systems using the same basic mechanism they used for password keeping. Moving across systems is absolutely broken- or rather- has never worked.

I think there are mechanisms to allow passkeys to work via Bluetooth or even via camera, as an external authenticator essentially, but I’ve never personally tried them.
