You're probably right, but this is still new enough that I'm nervous to rely on that. If 1Password has a data-corruption incident and you don't have other passkeys, there goes your digital identity. 1Password (or Apple Keychain) plus two YubiKeys is almost certainly fine. But that does still now run into the pain of registering multiple passkeys.
To be completely honest, I sometimes wonder if it's borderline malpractice that sites allow registering only a single Passkey. Registration processes should fundamentally require you to onboard two of them at a minimum, and encourage three. Or maybe I'm just becoming curmudgeonly as I get older. But I do worry that the current state of things—while absolutely on the right track—is going to be an unfolding disaster for non-savvy early adopters.
