34896	First-party passkey support in django.auth	Nick Meyer	nobody	"Passkeys are quickly gaining traction as a more secure and user-friendly alternative to usernames and passwords. It would be a great feature for Django users and send a strong signal to the wider community if `django.auth` and the supporting code and UI were updated to support passkeys as a first-class alternative to usernames and passwords.

Items that would need to be updated (not exhaustive):
* User models would need to be updated to support multiple passkeys
* Authentication logic updated to support passkeys (WebAuthn relying party implementation)
* Login UI updated to support choice of login with username/password or passkey

I understand that all of this can (and likely has) been implemented as a separate app/package, but again I feel it would be a great first-party feature and send a strong message to the wider community of the superior security and user-friendliness of asymmetric key cryptography over legacy usernames/passwords.
