Quite the opposite. You can, and are always advised to, have a second key as backup that you can keep in a secure location. So in the same way as you don't lose your home if you lose your home's keys, you don't lose your digital access if you have a backup passkey. There is a slight difference between the two scenarios as in the case of your home, you wouldn't lose it regardless of whether you have a backup key or not. But since you can easily have a backup passkey the difference is very small.
- megous 4y agoThe difference is that normal people don't have 50-200 houses and don't have to toy with the main/backup keys for every single one of those + each time they add a new "house", which may be often.
- GTP 4y agoI'm replying here to megous, since I can't reply directly to his comment. You have only one hardware key to backup, so you've got two keys in total.
