Description

This is a stub.

We want to be able to read passkeys from third-party password managers installed on the user system and have them be populated in the credential selection view. We'll have to figure out which data we want to require from the password managers and how that data will be conveyed.

Research direction

The issue is a stub and names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the credentialsd proposal and the passkey credential-selection design, then establish what password-manager data is required and how it is conveyed. Done means the third-party integration design and requirements are agreed.
