Passkeys might really kill passwords (www.theverge.com)

Passkeys: how do they work? No, like, seriously. It’s clear that the industry is increasingly betting on passkeys as a replacement for passwords, a way to use the internet that is both more secure and more user-friendly. But for all that upside, it’s not always clear how we, the normal human users, are supposed to use passkeys. You’re telling me it’s just a thing... that lives on my phone? What if I lose my phone? What if you steal my phone?

Bitwarden pro right? ($10 for the year, totally worth it). My mobile app can create/use them already too.

Don't need the premium version of Bitwarden to use passkeys. The free version works.

That said, $10 per year is not a big cost to support the company storing your vault and developing the apps.
