MODERATORS
Edit: You may be right about that. I spoke too soon.
Fourth amendment protects against unreasonable search and seizure. That applies to passkeys. First amendment protects speech, that's what protects your password. You can't be compelled to tell that because you can't be compelled to say things, not because there's any protection against the data being seized. IANAL, feel free to go into more detail if you still disagree
