At least on iOS, passkeys are stored locally in Keychain, even if they're also synced over iCloud (when enabled).

I'd assume it's the same story on iOS, as you won't get access to Keychain if your Apple ID is locked ?

Provided Apple has fewer services and less surface for your account to get banned, but that's still a valid concern.

In my experience on iOS, you can't make Passkeys work without also turning on syncing, that's sort of the entire point of Passkeys, otherwise they would just be WebAuthN tokens.
