    What is the difference between a crypto wallet and a passkey?

    Is it just that a passkey has less functionality (and therfore better usability)?

        Passkeys seem to be equivalent to public addresses of blockchain wallets.

        I think the main difference is that passkey are recoverable but blockchain wallet keys are private
