there's. it depends on how the site implemented passkeys.

I'm using multiple devices and passkeys via keepassXC. I haven't lost access or even got locked out of any accounts.

but it's like 2FA, and almost all sites have a clean fallback (backup codes) for 2FA.

so. no clear explanation.


the same is true of passwords. some sites provide password reset some don't. how is that not clear?


> some sites provide password reset some don't

I'm yet to see a site that doesn't provide a password reset (excluding websites without passwords). What inane webdev though that'd be a good idea?


How do you sync the KeePassXC file?


I use KeePassXC, just not for passkeys. I used to use Dropbox but now I use Syncthing. I use a strong password and a key file that IS NOT synced.
