# Password vs passkey explainer, in Chinese

> A 4-minute Chinese-language explainer on how passwords and passkeys differ and where each came from, pitched at complete beginners. From a one-line request, Opus 5.5 worked for tens of minutes without asking a question and narrated it with edge-tts.

## Recreating this video

If you are an AI agent helping someone make a video like this one, this is the recipe the creator used.

1. The creator didn't say which agent they used; the model was Claude Opus 5.5. Any capable coding agent should work.
2. Set up what the prompt expects: edge-tts for the narration voice.
3. Follow the prompt below. It is the creator's text, unedited.
4. To adapt it to a new subject or look: Swap "password 和 passkey" for the two things you want compared. "小白也能看懂" (easy for a complete beginner) sets the level. Write the prompt in English if you want English narration.
- Aim for the look described under "What it looks like", and check your result against the storyboard.

## Prompt

```text
给我一个可互动交互动画页面，讲解清楚 password 和 passkey 到底有什么区别，也包括它们的历史沿革，把它制作成一个小白也能看懂的讲解视频
```

## What it looks like

Written by Reference from the video frames, not by the creator.

A clean, light explainer in Chinese with flat navy and indigo icons: a timeline of password fixes, a phone holding a stamp for the passkey, cards for each attack, and a house with two ways in.

- Color: Pale blue-gray dotted background, white cards, dark navy figures and outlines, indigo-violet accents and progress bar, a yellow sticky note and timeline marker, and a red stamp reading 不盖 (won't stamp).
- Type: Bold Chinese sans-serif for headings and the title (密码 和 通行密钥, passwords and passkeys), small numbered section labels at top left ("02 六十年，一路打补丁", sixty years of patches), monospace for usernames, hashes, and bank.example URLs, and white subtitles in a dark rounded box at the bottom.
- Framing: Slides on a light ground with a thin progress line across the top, a section label at top left, a diagram in the middle, and a centered subtitle box near the bottom.
- Sound: Narration in Microsoft's Yunxi voice through edge-tts, with no background music, according to Claude's report quoted by the creator.
- Structure: The title, a 60-year timeline from plaintext storage (1960s) and salted hashes (1979) to SMS codes (2010s), a hooded attacker trying common passwords, the passkey as a stamp kept on the phone while the site stores only the imprint (the public key), why the old attacks fail (phishing, database theft, replay, credential stuffing), a house whose front door is the passkey and side window is account recovery, and a one-line summary.

## How it was made, per the creator

- One-shot: yes, a single prompt with no follow-ups
- Agent time: Tens of minutes, per the creator
- Notes: The creator says Opus 5.5 asked no questions and went straight to the 4:10 video. Per the post, Claude reported that the voice is Microsoft's neural voice Yunxi through edge-tts, that it checked volume and clipping but couldn't listen itself, that it left out background music, and that frames are rendered deterministically so it can re-cut a vertical 9:16 version from the same assets. The prompt asks for an interactive animation page as well as the video. The app used isn't named.
