KeepassXC now supports Passkeys? All right then, I accept that argument. I do use Keepass and compatible programs.
Yes! Though on Android you need the app KeePassDX to read them, I was mistaken about the name.

How do you sync passkeys to someone else's phone to authorize them to act in your name?
This is the basic use case, very common in the physical world, that security industry refuses to accept exists.
Passwords have this capability by nature.
> because most services don't allow you to enroll more than one passkey
Which is dumb and part of what makes passkeys not just useless, but dangerously so. Same story with 2FA, and the many services that only allow you to have one registered authenticator app at the time.

Yes you can do that with Bitwarden or KeepassXC.
Not sure if either works on iOS, I don't use that but they work on desktop and Android (you use KeepassDX there to read them).

Great, thanks.
Even if you don't like to rely on big tech (google/apple), I don't either, there are many options now for full FOSS implementations like bitwarden and KeepassXC.
If you use a yubikey as a passkey then yes, that's not a great option also because most services don't allow you to enroll more than one passkey. But with bitwarden that doesn't matter.
