> Users are largely unsure about the implications for their passkeys if they lose or break their device, as it seems their device holds the entire capability to authenticate. To trust passkeys as a replacement for the password, users need to be prepared and know what to do in the event of losing one – or all – of their devices. > Backing up and synchronising passkeys with a Credential Manager makes it easier to recover access to them compared to other existing second factor options. However, this relies on the user having prepared their Credential Manager account for recovery. Users need help in understanding and implementing the right steps so they can feel ready to go passwordless and use passkeys without extra worry and hassle. The benefit to the user of a passkey is that they don't have to remember passwords ("what you have" and not "what you know"). But if you lose what you have, you're screwed. There's no straightforward way to mitigate this. Proposed solutions I've seen just add an extra layer of "what you know," but this just changes the security back to "what you know" if it supersedes the passkey.
