Passkeys cannot be stolen. Yes, don't say that what if someone steals my iPhone, PIN, and adds their fingerprint. Let's say eBay asks user to login. With passkey.

  Buy a new iPhone. Sign into it. Everything is now available. That is the reason: for the average Joe not having exportable passkeys is good. Average Joe doesn't have to do backup. It is all automatic.
