How? Where are they stored? Which password protects them? How do I back them up? How do you move them to another device? Can I print them out on paper as a last resort measure?

Nobody fucking knows.

Why are you making stuff up? Of course people know where they're stored in password managers and how they're synced.
it depends on which password manager you are using. if you use Google's then it gets backed up to your Google account.

BitWarden, KeePassXC, and probably a bunch of other password managers have very thorough support for import-export, automatic/periodic backup, sync/merge, etc.

And that's a HUGE issue. SSH keys are easy to manage in comparison to PassKeys.
Are they easier to manage if you have a few hundred SSH keys?
