> the scenario where your password manager is running on the same device as the one where the user is performing the login

Android will provide an API for that scenario (i.e. on-device third-party authenticators) in the near future [1].

Hopefully, iOS will do the same.

Yes, I'm waiting patiently in the wings. Sadly when I asked Apple's Passkey team about supporting this, they said it wasn't on the roadmap (though they carefully didn't say never, it still doesn't instill much hope). Once this missing piece becomes a required part of the standard, I'll stop holding my breath and get super excited about passkeys.
