Not to mention the challenges when (gasp!) a single user uses more than one device. Like, yes, some of us have both desktop computers and phones, thanks for asking.

This is why I refuse to let most sites set me up with passkeys. I’m considering making exceptions for the ones that usually get this stuff right (like GitHub).

Not sure what you mean. In most cases, passkeys sync across your devices.
People with all Apple devices do not consist "most" of users
This is the case in other areas though. I keep some of my passkeys in BitWarden and that is cross device/platform as well.
that seems like an excellent reason to avoid a buggy platform, as if there weren't other adequate reasons...
Just add more than one passkey to your account?
Only a small subset of sites seem to support that so far.
