Passkeys aren't tied to hardware. Basically every password manager syncs them between devices. If you just go the easy route of using the Apple/Google password manager you'll never lose access unless you lose your whole Apple/Google account.
- dylan604 1y agoExcept sibling comment to yours says that they are not so easily transferable. We're also discussing using a fob for the passkey. That's the physical hardware that I was referring. People keep tossing around Yubikey type of suggestions. How is that not hardware? Why do we keep making strange comments like this when they're clearly not true.
- Gigachad 1y agoThe Apple, Google, 1Password, etc managers sync Passkeys to your account between all devices. Sure, if you specifically use a hardware device like a Yubikey then you can physically lose it but most people will never have a hardware authenticator.
- qwerpy 1y ago> unless you lose your whole Google account I’ve seen enough horror stories here that this can’t be handwaved away.
- filcuk 1y agoDon't use Google then.
- esseph 1y agoThere are device-bound passkeys.
