Passkeys are legit and should not cost you a dime. It’s built into my Mac OS. I can switch between an SMS code verification, email verification and a passkey. The passkey requires I open an “authenticator” app to get the code. I have two authenticator apps on my phone, but I use the Google authenticator app the most. It is easy to set it up. Then, you open the app, find the site you want to visit, and get a 6-digit code. It’s essentially a one-time, short lived (60 seconds) secondary password.

How do you get the 6 digit code because now I am again locked out of FB and I don’t see no code.

So I have downloaded the password key. Then I clicked on Facebook and it asks me for my 6 digit key. Problem is I don’t see that key anywhere. Anyway, why is it that for YEARS I have gotten into FB with NO problem and suddenly THIS happens? I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Okay, so now it says I created a passkey for Meta but I STILL don’t see the 6 digit code anywhere. I just tells me I created a passkey which I can’t see.
