How does Passkey work?
Passkey uses open and private keys matching to verify the entry of an account. The service keeps open switch; The special key is protected by the corrector. During the introduction, the user confirms the operation with biometric verification or PIN that the device supports. No need to be sent to the site of fingerprint or facial data.

This feature provides an important protection against identity hunting. However, device security, account recovery and session management are still necessary. FIDO Alliance passkey description
The difference between password, SMS code and passkey
The password is written by the user; can be entered into a fake page or used again in other accounts. SMS code provides an additional control but it is still possible to transfer the code to the attacker. CISA handles FIDO/WebAuthn based methods as an ID-proof MFA approach.

Is the same thing as passkey connected to sync and device?
No. The passkey connected to the device is kept in a certain corrector; physical safety switch is an example.
