Passkey is some sort of specific unique key to a device allowing to use a pin on a device instead of the password. But which won't work on another device.

Now I don't know if that key can be stolen or not, or if it's really more secure or not, as people have really unsecure pins.

Did you just make up something that could happen and then get mad about it?

Yeah I'm in that kinda mood today. And it's not exactly far fetched.

Satire typically highlights something that has happened, not something made up.
