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

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

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 I may be wrong or outdated so would love to hear more on that.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

i think passkeys for iOS are saved on iCloud so it makes it device agnostic

that is correct. passkey are like passwords just more secure. the private key stored in the secure enclave is used to derive another keypair private/public which private key resides in keychain making it in sync with icloud keychain "Synchronisation security Passkeys were designed to be convenient and accessible from all devices used on a regular basis. Passkeys sync across a user's devices using iCloud Keychain." sauce: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/102195
