It depends on your web browser. Just see what happens here https://webauthn.io/

Firefox on Desktop tells me to "touch my security key". Not sure how that works. Firefox Android gives me a few hardware options to store my passkey to. Chrome Desktop asks me to enable Bluetooth. Chrome Android asks which Google Account to use.

Just tried that with Firefox on Android and while it works, I can't find any evidence of a stored passkey on my device, let alone a way to export it.

Are on Linux? AFAIK it doesn't work on Desktop Linux.
