Ok, but can I generate a new passkey with the same fingerprint? I’m pretty sure that eventually someone will find an exploit that allows them to steal your keys, so you need to make the old keys invalid by generating new ones.

You make a separate passkey per Authenticator device or application.

Passkeys are not necessarily tied to biometrics unless the Authenticator application/device is configured to do that.

Ok, that’s great. Seems like a fairly secure option, so I don’t see any major problems with it.
