Passkeys in KeePassXC

Several password managers have added support for Passkeys over the past year, including Bitwarden, 1Password, Dashlane, Google Password Manager, Apple iCloud Keychain, even Windows 11 supports it. KeePassXC is the latest to join the party to support the phishing-resistant protocol created by FIDO.
