> I solve this by creating two passkeys for each account, for iOS and Chrome. This covers all the devices I might use to log in and there’s no single point of failure.

This just seems to mean that, instead of being the whim of one corporation from being locked out of all your accounts, you're the whim of two corporations away. That's better, but I'd hardly call it solved.



“Google says no” is a threat model I’m concerned about, but it doesn’t seem particularly likely, so I’ll pick another passkey manager if it happens.

(If it ever happened, Gmail and Google Photos would be a bigger loss.)
