iCloud Keychain users: Where do you put non-logins? (lemm.ee)

I’ve been jumping between password managers for a bit and I feel like sooner or later I’ll end up with iCloud Keychain, but currently I’m still sticking with something else because it only supports logins (website, username, password has to always be there).

For people already using it, where do you put your non-password stuff? PIN codes, software licenses, memberships, etc.

My bad dude. Yeah, was wayyy outta line. Sorry. But my point was that PassKeys seem to depend on biometrics to authenticate/"use" and biometrics are not technically protected to the extent you can be forced to "produce" them ina way that is distinct from the protection passwords can theoretically provide.

I suppose as long as you use alphanumeric for your main passcode, its not such a problem to use PassKeys but what I said above seems to be true although there may be a gap here or there overall in my understanding of them.

Do PassKeys replace the actual passcode for the device or is that more for online accounts and websites? I haven't found that spelled out specifically anywhere?
