I went to https://webauthn.io/ with Chrome & Firefox to test the Passkey & WebAuthn functionality and created multiple credentials there. Everything worked nicely.

I was then looking for the stored credentials in Chrome until I realised they are stored in Windows.

Credentials

You can see, there are multiple credentials to choose from, and they are only offered for this particular website.

So my questions are: Where does Windows store these? Where can I see what other saved credentials exist? Where can I delete them?

I tried in Windows Credential Manager but there is nothing that resembles to what I'm looking for.

In Windows 11: Accounts > Passkeys

You can then delete any passkey you no longer want.

Windows stores them in the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). Currently Windows does not offer a GUI to view all of your WebAuthn credentials (they're not really passkeys) stored on your machine. For an alternative way, see here: How to remove WebAuthN credentials from onboard-TPM on Win10 device?

However, you can open Google Password Manager via Chrome to view all the credentials that you have stored. Here, you can also delete them (https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/13168025?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop#zippy=).

It's expected that Windows will release a "Passkey / WebAuthn manager" with one of the next Windows 11 releases (Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23486 already shows it: https://www.howtogeek.com/901125/windows-11-will-have-its-own-passkey-manager/).
