Apple, Google, and Microsoft want to kill the password with “Passkey” standard

The standard is being called either a "multi-device FIDO credential" or just a "passkey." Instead of a long string of characters, this new scheme would have the app or website you're logging in to push a request to your phone for authentication. From there, you'd need to unlock the phone, authenticate with some kind of pin or biometric, and then you're on your way.

Instead of a password, devices could look for your phone over Bluetooth.

 

I wonder how secure this will be. When they can't even protect NFC and Car key from being Copied.

I can only agree. We already have phone that got Spyware in them. Now you add bluetooth passkey connection.
