You can’t login. Same as it is with any 2FA system where you don’t have access to the second factor.
> - if I enroll on iPhone, is my identity forever tied to Apple or can it be migrated to Android if I ever wanted to change platforms?
At a minimum services should support multiple authentication devices/tokens. So you can enrol both an iOS device and Android device, or any other FIDO device E.g. YubiKey.
This is already the standard approach for FIDO tokens, and basically a requirement for existing services, because we don’t currently have FIDO token syncing.
I would hope that these syncing services will also allow you to export your private key. But that’s a slightly scary prospect because it would allow the holder of that key to authenticate as you anywhere.
> - Can Apple/Google/Microsoft ever block/ban my account, preventing me from logging into my bank, etc that use FIDO login?
Services will still need a credential recovery process. People lose phone etc everyday. I imagine your bank will happy reset your credentials if you turned up in-person holding government identification.
