Does Passkeys in icloud keychain require website to support webauthn ?

Also how is this different from the javascript based webauthn implementation ?

Yes, you need a server that is able to verify the assertions/attestations that are generated. Passkeys can be used either on the web using the JavaScript WebAuthn API, or in an app using the ASAuthorization API.

Passkeys are WebAuthn. The change is that your Apple account is the authenticator, rather than one piece of hardware.
