> How do I login to YouTube on my Roku device?

The passkey does not have to be on the same device. It can be, but does not have to be. The Roku can display a QR code, and a passkey on a phone can perform the login. I logged into google on my windows laptop yesterday with a passkey on my iPhone. A prompt in chrome appeared basically asking “is your passkey on this laptop, or on a phone” and then displayed a code after I picked phone.

I hope eventually one of the major password managers implements Passkey support. I have Vaultwarden on all of my devices; I’d ideally love for Vaultwarden to store my passkey(s). It wouldn’t be any different from how I login currently, but with fewer passwords. There really isn’t much reason to stay locked into Apple or Google as far as I can tell.
