We're yet to build a full feature for our users to extract private keys from their Web3Auth-created Polygon wallet.

In the meantime, we'd like to support users to do this manually if possible.
Is there anything they can do on their end to extract their private keys without waiting on the feature implementation?

Check the discussion at: https://github.com/orgs/Web3Auth/discussions/935

For your particular client id and the logins you provide, the getPrivateKey function will need to be called by the user's end as shown here .

I don't think a good UX can be designed to allow users to extract the keys on their own.
