Right now users need to enable passkeys from Safari by enabling the developer mode in order to use them in applications. From the docs:

In macOS, choose Safari > Preferences, click the Advanced tab, and select the “Show Develop menu in menu bar” option. Then choose the Develop > Enable Syncing Platform Authenticator menu in Safari.

Is Apple planning to enable it by default in later releases of macOS? Are there any official applications already using this feature in their applications?

Passkeys are officially available in macOS Ventura and iOS 16. You can find more details in the Meet passkeys session.

I am missing something. On Safari>Develop, I am not seeing a Syncing Platform Authenticator switch.

the Syncing Platform Authenticator switch in iOS Settings -> Developer and in the Develop menu in Safari is not available, did it move to somewhere else ?
