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?

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.
