That's the entire point of passkey but here you go https://developer.apple.com/documentation/authenticationservices/public-private_key_authentication/supporting_passkeys?language=objc

What we want is, like 1password, to integrate passkey in our password manager, which user can authenticate through our password manager.

Answer 1

The root of the documentation is here. Note that the system APIs only offer ways for you to provide information about passkeys you manage yourself, and to shuffle request options/responses back and forth. For actually creating/managing/syncing/performing cryptographic operations with passkeys, that's up to your passkey manager to implement. The WebAuthn spec provides all the details for how that works.
