protected from what?
Kids in the USA are "protected" to/from walking to school. They must be driven. etc...
Also they don't have this right. Parents might have a responsibility to protect them, children don't have a "right" to protection.

* Easy to understand. Your device will just ask "sign in?"
* Easy to use. Your device will just ask "sign in?"
* Convenient. Nothing to remember, nothing to do
* Simple (all of the above)
Passkeys are/will-be way simpler than passwords for the majority of users
No, a password is a secret word for phrase that both you and the service you want to sign into know.
I don't know how to explain a passkey but at least in this one sense, a passkey is split into a public and private part. The public part is shared, the private part is not. The public part can be verified to match the private part without sharing the private part. Your device stores this private part. When service wants to let you login they ask your device "does this public part match this user's private part?". Your device responds in a way such that the service knows "only someone who has access to the private part could have responded correctly to -should this person be allowed to login'"
