Yes, I did. When you set up a passkey on your phone in your password manager, you'll transfer it to your other device using your password manager.
Either your password manager will automatically synchronize for you, or you can transfer your passkey to another password manager that will do the synchronization, via the finicky app-to-app transfer system (Credential Exchange Protocol). You can transfer from Apple to Bitwarden and vice versa.
The family sharing question was added later, but the answer is: all of the major password managers have finicky family-sharing features for passwords and passkeys.
For passwords, most people don't bother with formal family-sharing features, and just share passwords via copy and paste. For passkeys, you have to use the family-sharing features, which means you and your family member have to use the same password-manager vendor to share those passkeys.
It’s up to you to decide whether protecting yourself from being tricked into exporting your passkeys is worth sacrificing your ability to read them.
