They're just public/private keypairs that are generated either by a device (whether it's part of you phone, computer, or hardware key), browser, or password manager. I do agree that it can be a bit of a pain when it comes to multiple managers trying to offer to save/respond to a passkey, but otherwise it's a fairly straightforward exchange.

Why would you give the technical explanation to a person that doesn't want the technical explanation? To the person outside of tech, passkeys are just your phone has a really good password and fills it out for you. Just use that and don't bother having to remember (and forget) another password.

Except that is _not_ true, there is an entire thread of people saying they are unintuitive and hard to understand!

A monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors, what's the problem? Ape holders can use multiple slurp juices on a single ape, so if you have 1 astro ape and 3 slurp juices you can create 3 new apes.
