  That's different from what most people mean by "exportable", which is that the provider will give you a copy of the passkey which you can import into another provider. Syncable means that the provider can backup your passkey to someplace under their control, from whence they can restore it to a different device of yours where you also have that provider's client software. Here's how Github explains it [1] > Many passkeys support syncing, where your passkey is backed up by the provider's account system (iCloud, Google account, password manager, etc.). If you ever lose your device, you can recover your synced passkeys by signing in to your passkey provider. BTW, the flag on Github should probably say "Syncable" rather than "Synced".
