Just one thing that Google isn't mentioning and wasn't mentioned in the article. How many Google accounts does this cover and do you need separate passkeys for multiple accounts?

anyone see the logic problem? this only HURTS consumers user-interface, as with stored passwords, you don't have to USE nor remember ANYTHING! ...the id/pw autofills on every website. But with this passCODE scheme you still have to remember/use your secret pre-determined code each time you visit a website.
its a scam of sorts, as the whole truth is purposely universally NOT stated upfront but buried in the details.
Its a sales job...a con. Passcodes are NOT AS EASY AS SAVED, AUTOFILLED IDs WITH THEIR PW's .

"you will still need to use your fingerprint, PIN or screen lock pattern to verify that you are really you."

"While you need to remember each of the passwords for your online accounts or store them in one of the best password managers, with passkeys, you don’t have to"
