Isn't the that, in the lost phone case, you can never answer that query?

Isn't the that, in the lost phone case, you can never answer that query?
- tialaramex 8y agoGoogle prompts you (maybe even requires) to enable at least two distinct ways to get in. Now, of course it's possible you've tied both of those to your phone, but I put it to you that this makes it your fault. If my other method works, even if it's a huge pain (e.g. maybe my other FIDO key is at home and I've flown to Tokyo) then I do still have options. Maybe not options I _love_ but that's security for you. If you have a massive house fire that both destroys your bank documents and leaves you so badly burned you can hardly talk let alone sign your name, good luck the first time you try to withdraw cash from that bank account. If you set Advanced Protection both distinct ways have to be FIDO Security Keys, and whilst it's conceivable you could own a phone that functions as _one_ FIDO key (I would expect Apple to do this for example) it doesn't make any sense to have a single phone serving as _both_ your keys, even a non-technical person can hopefully spot that.
