- barkerja 3y agoNot if the Passkey was synced (ex: you used iCloud keychain). If the passkey was not synced, then I would have to assume it would be the same if you lost a physical hardware key.

- barkerja 3y agoI use a yubikey. But AFAIK, Apple doesn't actually use passkeys for iCloud/Apple ID authentication.
- Gasp0de 3y agoNot yet, but Google wants them to become ubiquitous. So in that (far) future, backing your passkeys up in a cloud (that is also protected by passkeys) doesn't help
- ezfe 3y agoApple account recovery supports setting a recovery code or having a friend listed as a recovery contact. Apple does not yet support Passkey for iCloud accounts login.
