Android syncs them to your Google account and iPhone to your iCloud account by default. Which isn't a perfect solution but, again, is pretty good for most people.

- Groxx 10mo agoThere are a few alternate options like email or sms (I've used them several times, you have no option if you erase your only actively-used phone occasionally), but yeah. Google effectively forces 2FA whether you like it or not.
- eli 10mo agoI don't think this is correct

- hshdhdhj4444 10mo agoHave you ever been locked out of your Apple account? Maybe because your kid was playing with your phone and kept entering the wrong passcode and now you’re locked out for several hours? Or because Apple detests anyone else touching your phone and you’re traveling internationally and your screen cracked and you took it to a local repair shop which in the process of replacing the screen triggered something Apple didn’t like and you’re locked out for a decade.

- eli 10mo agoI was just correcting the parent post that implied the passkeys were only stored on the device. Personally I do not use that feature. I'm also pretty sure I don't have any accounts that can ONLY be accessed via passkey.
