Is it possible to decouple the "sync" aspect of this feature request
from the "store passkeys in the native password manager" aspect?

I don't sync my passwords—I only use local storage.  I don't need and
wouldn't use cross-device synchronization for passkeys, either.  From my
perspective, it would be a shame if the passkey implementation were
blocked on implementing cross-device synchronization.

Title:
  [upstream] wishlist: Passkeys should be supported

Status in Mozilla Firefox:
  Confirmed
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Starting from 2022 the main big tech companies introduce Passkeys.
  Or in the more official name Fido Multi-device credentials.
  Basically this is a webauthn login, but the private key is distributed among 
all the devices in a persons Google, Microsoft and iCloud account. 

  If a person wants to login in on a device not in the account a QR code
  should be scanned after which the computers do some cryptographic
  magic via Bluetooth. And the new device also has the private key.

  This method is supposed to be a lot safer and more convenient than the
  usual passwords.

  As far as I know this system is open.

  My wish is that Ubuntu and Linux in general also will support this
  Passkeys thing.

  Regards, Martijn.
