A demo for passkeys
Conceptually it's very simple: when you signup for a service, you generate a private and public keypair. The private key is stored in your passkey manager [...], and the public key is stored in the database of the service. Then, during a login, the server sends an randomly-generated challenge, your device sign it wit the private key, and the server verify that the signature of the challenge matches the public key.

Today I got a call from my mother to help her out with something, but I did not expect that "something" will be figuring out a sed pattern for a shell script she wrote to bulk rename files.
When I asked her why she didn't use some GUI program she said "I was an accountant in the DOS era, this makes more sense to me than a ribbon menu in Excel".
