To reiterate from my earlier comment for @dagnelies there are no less than 4 definitions of passkey

* Any possible webauthn credentials (cite https://freeipa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/designs/passkeys.html )
* A synchronised/roaming credentials (cite https://support.okta.com/help/s/article/Passkey-Management?language=en_US )
* A credential that has BE/BS=true - I can't find an obvious cite for this, android could fall into this category though in a way.
* And the passkeys are resident keys as discussed here.

There is no consensus to what the term means, and including it in this specification does not assist here.
