Simpler explanation - Passkeys are random passwords in an online password manager. To use them you "Login with Google/Microsoft" first, then Google/Microsoft tell the website that you're legit

Passkeys are cryptographic key-pairs, not random strings (as opposed to a random password). Passkeys are also separate from third-party federated login. I hope that helps! We also have an Illustrated Guide to Passkeys that expands on how passkeys work: ua-cam.com/video/cEhc6vMFTh4/v-deo.html
