Thats the point of passkeys. They can be backed up and sync'ed between devices.
But even if you don't want to use the popular passkey implementations, you can still easily register multiple authenticators which mitigates the risk of losing one. On a new site, I'll register my hardware FIDO key, my phone as a passkey, and my laptop authenticator (either touch-id on MacOS or tpm-fido on linux machines).
Soon there will be other passkey implementations that will also support syncing and backups (1password for example is working on this).
Don't settle for a phishable authentication method.
