This is wrong, as a MITM or keylogger can't steal a passkey, while they can steal a password.

Since the passkey is the private key in the private-public pair, if it’s stored on a password manager it can definitely be stolen by malware (if you could have a key logger, you could have something else too). The only solution is to have the passkey (actually private key) reside in hardware or be protected by dedicated hardware.
