I don’t understand why apps and services are so obsessed with ‘Passkey’ or password-less login. I know there’s some risk using email & password login method, but the passkey thing is half-baked and it locks users from getting their account back if somehow they forget it, especially Google’s passkey approach is totally awful.
Can you imagine if every company forces users to use Passkey instead of other log in methods, how many printed copies or keys you’ll need, plus the spare copies and back-up keys?
Sure, one main key, one backup key, and probably like two years’ tax documents worth of paper (if you do print every one on a separate piece of paper which is kind of a waste)

This is why you should have a spare key in case you lose your main one and print out your recovery keys.
Mine is on my keychain so if I lose that, I have bigger problems than getting back into my accounts.
