Ask HN: How to secure your passkeys to survive lost / stolen devices?

2 pointsby rreyes1979over 1 year ago
Cellphones and USB keys can get lost / stolen. What's your recommendation on how to handle Passkeys to avoid losing control of your digital life if any / all of your devices get lost?

1Password, Apple, and maybe Chrome can sync them into the cloud so they become device-independent. Under such an implementation they&#x27;re basically like a cloud password manager but instead of filling in a password for you, they just send the token.<p>I use the 1Password one and it&#x27;s super convenient on several devices. Probably less secure than real 2fa or proper hardware encryption though. Basically replaces &quot;something you know and something you have&#x2F;are&quot; with &quot;something only they know&quot;.

&quot;Just use passwords&quot; seems too web1-ish I suppose. Having a decent mnemonic solves the problem completely though.
