Xenforo (and SNBForums) now support Passkeys

Hey folks,

Just noticed yesterday that the Xenforo version installed on SNBForums now supports Passkeys for logging in. I recommend people enroll with one, and also ensuring while there that their password is a secure password, and also use 2FA. I know that 2FA sesssion cookies expire after 30 days which may be a hassle having to re-authenticate every 30 days (I have to do that on four different devices every 30 days), there's a good chance that using a passkey would prevent having to re-authenticate every 30 days (I'll know for sure next time one of my sessions expire). It depends if they handle a passkey as a MFA factor, like Microsoft 365 does, for example.

Passkeys are supported by password managers if you don't want to tie it to a specific device and share it between multiple devices. So, you can save and sync it in 1password or Bitwarden, for example.
 
Done, and done. Now I can log in with my ugly face 😁

After registering a passkey and logging out, I could log in using just the passkey (the way it should be; not as just a replacement of TOTP).

1Password and iCloud Keychain were both properly detected, but all my Yubikeys are listed with the generic word "passkey".
