Description

This PR improves the guidance in the FIDO2 / Passkeys section of the Authentication Cheat Sheet by recommending the use of well-maintained WebAuthn libraries or platform APIs instead of implementing authentication logic manually.

A reference link to the Web Authentication API (WebAuthn) documentation was also added to provide developers with an authoritative resource for implementing passkey-based authentication securely.
