How do I create a passkey for apple.com?

How do I create a passkey for apple.com? When signing in I see the option "Sign In With Passkey" but there doesn't seem to be a way to create it so I can use that option. I've looked high and low.

Create a passkey for a new account

  1. When you sign up for a new account, enter an account name, then click to submit.
  2. To create a passkey, iCloud Keychain must be set up on your Mac.
  3. When you see the option to save a passkey for the account, choose how you want to sign in:
    • Touch ID on your Mac: Place your finger on the Touch ID sensor.
    • Scan a QR code with your iPhone or iPad: Click Other Options.
    • External security key: Click Other Options.

After a full reset of my phone, I no longer have the passkey to use 'Sign In With iPhone' on Apple website.

How can I recreate it?

I don't have a Mac.

There's no option in my iCloud account or Password app.

iCloud doesn't offer the option to recreate the passkey after signing in from Safari.
