Curious, I am somewhat paranoid about leaving me keys or wallet in my jacket at a gym but if I had a security key, I'd be pretty terrified. Does having a key mean you still need a password since it's 2 factor? If you lose a key, do you need a backup master password like using auth apps?

- nerdbert 4y agoWhen you log in to your account you have to provide your password and also use the key. You can choose a key that has an additional factor built in, such as a fingerprint reader. If you lose one of the keys you can authorize a new one. If you lose both of the keys and all the Apple devices that you can log into directly, e.g. with fingerprint sensor on a Mac, then you're SOL.
