I wish it was possible to add FIDO keys to an account without having physical access to the key. Without this, it is hard to balance the convenience of adding your keys to new accounts and the risk of losing all your keys. Ideally, I’d want to keep one key in a safe location far away and just have some public key data that I can upload to new accounts. Does anyone know why FIDO doesn’t work this way? Is it simply to make it harder to lock yourself out of an account?
