I don’t follow? What is a “currently recommended PQ curve”? As far as I understand, the entire point is that all ECC is broken by quantum computers, hence the hype to move to something else by 2029. Anyone that can see your public key can compute your private key.

My understanding is that some of the curves are still considered high enough entropy that the number of qubits needed is "unreasonable". The important point remains though that passkeys don't have a fixed encryption suite and can be updated over time.
