Sounds like certificates. You can use ssh this way, for example.

You can use mTLS client certificates (kept in the system key store) in browsers this way; but the UX is pretty hard to get right, and certificates nearly always have to have an expiry date to deal with the compromise-able nature of keys imported into the system key store.
