FAQ's [sic] - Passkey - What is a Passkey?

https://fidoalliance.org/passkeys/#faq

Third paragraph, second sentence

> "The cryptographic keys are used from end-user devices (computers, phones, or security keys) that are used for secure user authentication."

"The cyptopgraphic keys" is casually mentioned here with an implied reference to being passkeys. It never explicitly states passkeys are, in fact, "cyptopgraphic keys".

Very poor communication indeed.
