What happens to the account access if the passkey-registered device dies?

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago (9 children)

You can have more than one passkey.

You can still use password + 2fa

You can use google oauth.

You can use a YUBI key

You should probably have a primary and secondary auth for every site.

So, losing a passkey isn't a lost account?

Almost every company has some way to work around the 2FA loss.
