Bitwarden lets you store passkeys in its vault, which I think is what you're asking for? It's mentioned in the post too.

No. I'm talking about using the password to directly derive the passkey. This would eliminate the need to store them in something like BitWarden.

This just sounds like using the same password on every site. Am I missing something?

Passkeys have to be unique per site so that you can revoke one without having to change something on every other site.

What you are proposing is no different from using a password and wrapping it in custom transport security to send it to the server. This would result in everyone simply using the same password for all sites.
