Personally I like the idea of passkeys. However, it needs some sort of easy to export like 2FA seeds, or even BIP39 that some cryptocurrency wallets uses.

The seemingly non-transparent (or was there none?) way to backup to a cold storage (e.g., printed and locked in a physical safe) turns me off.

There is a possibility websites will only allow approved password managers to create/interact with passkeys with attestation, something that is not a problem with the common TOTP + Password or other authentication methods.

Attestation (perhaps targeted for enterprise usage?) but should be a separate spec/extension or something.

Some passkey implementations can be exported (synced), some can't. By design. E.g. I don't want my Yubikeys to export the private keys, ever.
