I'm hopeful this changes with passkeys - whether in-app or on the web, they can just ask you to reauthenticate the same way.

Per the original comment, that doesn't really show stewardship though. If you do not believe a PR or issue to be valid, you close it. If you are literally not willing to accept any PRs or issues, turn the feature off.

Typically you would be using something like JCE for these sensitive functions, and a JCE implementation could be written (potentially with VM support) to have such functionality. These also can do things like zero out binary data/keys
