To add another issue to my "passkey Woes" above, I have realised that some of the "Passkey Available" notices in Watchtower are not quite accurate... for example, I have a local Independent Pharmacy near me and they only have a basic website; I was exited and quite impressed that they had implemented passkeys on their website - according to Watchtower!
Alas, I spent a good 20 minutes trying to find the passkey option on the website, after a quick phone call it transpires that they DO NOT offer the passkey security. On further investigation, I came to the realisation that Watchtower was looking at my username of said pharmacy which happened to be my Yahoo email address, and it was that email address to which Watchtower was telling me there is a passkey login available (or at least that's what I thought!) - A brief look in the security settings of my Yahoo email didn't mention anything about passkeys either!
This is just one example of the many watchtower notifications regarding passkeys which are not actually supported for the sites flagged.
Please enlighten me!
