    My naive understanding would be: a passkey replaces a password for an individual login; a biometric authentication replaces a password for the vault that stores individual login passwords.

      so basically: right now, I have a master password, and I can set up Bitwarden to bypass the master password with biometrics. With passkey set up, I will no longer have a master password, and biometric will be the only login method?

        It is not about logging in to BitWarden via PassKey, but logging in via BitWarden to other services.

        Confusing, but what it means is you not storing password in a manager, but a cryptographic private key.
