Description

On the login page we have a link Sign in with a passkey.

How do we add a passkey for signing in with it?

One can expect the user to go to Settings > Security.

Here the user can see the section Two-Factor Authentication (Security Keys) with the button Add Security Key and this text

Security keys are hardware devices containing cryptographic keys. They can be used for two-factor authentication. Security keys must support the WebAuthn Authenticator standard.

Knowledgeable users will immediately understand that these security keys are the same thing as the passkey mentioned on the login page. However, not everyone is so clever which includes myself.

I think that the names should be aligned. Or at least mention on the settings page that a security key is a passkey.

Passkey = Security Key – but that's not spelled out.
