Description

### Feature request
Please add support for exporting and importing stored passkeys.

### Problem
Passkeys created via microG seem to be stored locally without any way to back them up or transfer them to another device. This makes switching devices or reinstalling difficult.

### Proposed solution
Provide a secure way to export and import passkeys (e.g. encrypted file).

### Why this matters
This would greatly improve usability for custom ROM users without Google sync.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by locating where microG stores passkeys and review the existing authentication and Android storage code; define the secure export format and recovery flow before implementation. Done means passkeys can be encrypted for export and successfully imported on another device.
