Passkeys are more secure than passwords since they’re tied to a device, but what if you lose your phone? The trick lies in how you generate passkeys in the first place.
Imagine you’ve created a host of passkeys on your iPhone or Android phone. If you lose your phone or it no longer works, what happens to the passkeys on your device? Are they gone?

The trick lies in how you generate passkeys in the first place. By using a password manager that supports passkeys, Google Password Manager, or Apple’s iCloud Keychain, you can save passkeys to your account and sync them across all your devices. If you lose your phone or upgrade to a new one, your passkeys will be available once you sign in. Here’s how this works.
