[Bug 1989976] [NEW] wishlist: Passkeys should be supported

[Martijn H]

Public bug reported:

Starting from 2022 the main big tech companies introduce Passkeys.
Or in the more official name Fido Multi-device credentials.
Basically this is a webauthn login, but the private key is distributed among all the devices in a persons Google, Microsoft and iCloud account. 

If a person wants to login in on a device not in the account a QR code
should be scanned after which the computers do some cryptographic magic
via Bluetooth. And the new device also has the private key.

This method is supposed to be a lot safer and more convenient than the
usual passwords.

As far as I know this system is open.

My wish is that Ubuntu and Linux in general also will support this
Passkeys thing.

Regards, Martijn.
