Give an actual working example on how you would share with a friend access to an arbitrary Passkey-enabled account of yours.

Do all using services allow this? Is it at least ad easy and straightforward as telling your trustworthy auntie your password?

Does the Passkey-enabled account support multiple passkeys?

I'm pretty sure I have my Android phone setup with a passkey for my Google account and also my Windows laptop.

Presuambly the same logic applies for a service that permits multiple passkeys. Each person would register a passkey on their device using the shared credential.

There in lies the issue. With passwords, it doesn't matter if the account supports multiple passwords. I can share the one I have

but can I simply share the passkeys without someone's permission (other than my own)?
