The platform authenticator in Android 9+ has the following capabilities:
- creating and using passkeys that are backed up to Google Password Manager
- using a passkey from the local Android device to sign into services on another device (such as a laptop or desktop), using FIDO Cross-Device Authentication
Platform Notes
