Enabling passkeys with "Hybrid" on non-passkey-supported devices
summary
Demonstrates a working proof‑of‑concept that enables passkeys on devices with no biometric or keyboard by implementing a Hybrid Works app on Fire TV that displays a QR code including proximity secret and public key, which a smartphone scans to open a WebSocket tunnel (using Apple/Google intermediate servers) and complete passkey auth while the TV advertises Bluetooth for discovery. Shows it works, uses existing WebSocket libraries, notes Bluetooth unreliability and NFC as an alternative, and urges OS vendors to add native hybrid APIs.
