Passkey is some sort of specific unique key to a device allowing to use a pin on a device instead of the password. But which won't work on another device.

Now I don't know if that key can be stolen or not, or if it's really more secure or not, as people have really unsecure pins.

We're sorry, Firefox cannot access your IMEI to fingerprint your device. Please use a modern web browser like Chrome, Chrome, or maybe try Chrome.

Yet another anti-consumer, anti-privacy, "for the sake of children!" Type tactic from Google.

Did you just make up something that could happen and then get mad about it?

Satire typically highlights something that has happened, not something made up.
