On iOS you can use third party software to manage passkeys, there is no inherent cloud requirement.

Can you? If so, this is great news.

What apps support this?

Third-party passkey providers got added with iOS 17. I don't know which apps apart from 1Password support it yet but the API is there.

Source?

>Note: To use passkeys, iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 13, or tvOS 16 (or later) is required. iCloud Keychain and two-factor authentication must also be turned on.

Perfect! I keep iCloud off, so this is one "improvement" I can continue to sidestep for a while.
