Is just the passkey thingy that you cant backup that deteres me to consider it seriously

I think there is no method to backup it rn. hence my concern.

Somebody from the sm wallet team emailed me some plans to integrate a backup in the future but not sure we are already in that future.

Passkey resides in the keychain of iphones not sure where android devices stores them + browser on desktop each in its way. The way it works is like HSM (hardware security modules - secure enclave) we use in banking to store keys: you can just derive new keys but cannot export its root private key (backup). All ok if you trust to not loose access to that HSM.

Probably you are right about users loosing seed easier but I know a lot of people that doest not know what their icloud pass is when they uprgrade or lose iphones which makes loosing passkeys a real threat to them.

I may be wrong or outdated so would love to hear more on that.

is there a way to export the private key from the smart wallet? 

tbh from my perspective - it's probably easier for an average user to lose the seed phrase than lose a passkey
