Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Passwords have become a scourge of mankind. Everybody knows they are insecure and user re-use passwords because they can't remember an unique password for each service.

Describe the solution you'd like
User authentication via Passkeys has become super-simple, especially on Github, where Passkeys are detected automagically after pressing the button "Use Passkeys" without having to enter any username or password.
It would be a blessing for users to authenticate at Nginx-Proxy-Manager with Passkeys.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Identity-Provider (e.g. Authentik) -> complicated setup
Authenticating proxy -> two proxies in a row?

It would be great if Passkeys are supported.
Have a Nginx proxy that acts as a gateway to some of my smart home servers.

It seems like pull requests with the above feature added is merged. Does that mean we will see features like this in the next release of NPM?
