> To put it bluntly: you’re wildly out of touch with reality for most people. 99% of people who have a phone I don't think 99% of people who have a phone have any kind of extensively worked out plan for what happens if their phone is lost, stolen, or breaks. If we're lucky the number is more like 50%. For most intents and purposes, irrevocably losing access to a phone is equivalent to bricking it in the way OP talks about. Any passkey-esque system needs to have a fallback plan when the phone unexpectedly becomes unavailable.
