Let's hope your iphone doesn't get stolen or smashed and your beloved passkeys lost

Well, they're synchronized to my Apple account so that's not an issue. They're available on all of my Apple devices, or even ones I don't have right now that I log into in the future

Plus, none of the sites that I use passkeys for would I be locked out. They all have account recovery procedures just like if I forgot my password. And, finally, for the important ones like my Google account (where my email lives) I have other non-Apple devices like a Yubikey setup as additional Passkey/FIDO authenticators

Why would they be lost? They are synced to iCloud Keychain, which is E2E encrypted.
