Passkey Support for Desktop App

I recently gave passkeys a shot. For some of my logins, I wanted to enable it to familiarize myself with the feature. Apparently, the desktop application does not support this. I added a passkey to my Discord account, and logging in through the browser worked as expected. Logging in to the standalone app was a different story.
