Video Description

✴️ Losing a device with a passkey isn't a disaster at all. I'll describe why that is. ✴️ Losing your passkey? Losing a device with a passkey isn’t a disaster. Each device has its own passkey. If you lose your phone, set up a new passkey on its replacement and disable the old one remotely. Two-factor authorization helps secure your phone if you’re still using a password, but transitioning to passwordless is safer because there’s nothing to steal.
