- acdha 2y agoMost phones are waterproof and if your toilet holds your phone, laptops/desktops, and recovery keys it’ll also take your password vault because it’s an actually a black hole.
- brutal_chaos_ 2y agoI currently have moat passwords synced with firerox. If I lose or break a device currently, I can restore from another, synced, device. If while using passkeys I lose or break my device, then what?
- acdha 2y agoAny of your other devices will still work, as will your recovery codes, for getting a new device synced.
- brutal_chaos_ 2y agoHow would that work without a homogenious setup? Won't all devices need to be with Apple or Microsoft (etc)? Or is there a standard/cross platform solution?
- vel0city 2y agoI recently had a phone with a bunch of passkeys on it die unexpectedly. I didn't spend weeks resetting passkeys. I just logged into things with my hardware token on my keyring until all the sites I cared to use on my phone had fresh passkeys. Or if my keyring was in the other room, I'd use the passkey on my laptop or desktop.
