**Description:**

It’s annoying when we have to copy and paste the password each time we log in to MetaMask. I think it would be more convenient if we could enable passkeys, allowing us to unlock the extension using methods like laptop fingerprints or just a PIN.

**Purpose:**

Easier UX

**Extension/Mobile/Both:**

Extension
