Passkeys are just a private key plus some metadata.

Bitwarden lets you export your vault, and the export contains the private key in plain text. There is virtually no difference to writing down a password on a piece of paper. Well, I guess a passkey is a lot longer than the avg password.

This changes if attestation ever becomes widespread. Which will only happen if Apple does a U-turn on their stance.
