Scams do exist.

Fake App Downloads:
Some users report encountering blank screens or prompts to download unrelated apps when trying to log in. This is often a phishing attempt or a glitch, not a legitimate Facebook requirement.

Facebook does not require users to download third-party apps or pay for authentication services. Passkeys are a free, built-in security feature that uses your device’s existing biometric data (like fingerprint or face scan) or PIN, which is stored locally on your device and not by Facebook.

If you encounter a request for payment or a suspicious third-party app during login, it is not a legitimate Facebook passkey feature.

Yeah, I do have a FOUR digit pin number for when I need my passwords and a box pops up for that. No problem. However, the passkey asks for a SIX digit number which is not available to me as far as I can tell. Plus the alternative way it gives me to click shows NOTHING when you click it.
