On the other hand, passkeys are almost exclusively used to authenticate to some service that can just as well be subpoenaed directly.
Exceptions do exist; two I can think of are passkey-based cryptocurrency wallets and the so-called "PRF extension" that allows using a passkey as a source of entropy for e.g. locally encrypting a password manager's database.
