I have 531 logins for varied websites and services. Would you enjoy having to change 531 passkey devices? Me neither. But default login flows in all these sites prompt you to use your current device as passkey by default, so people who don't know better (i.e. a general "everybody") are being gently pushed to do so.

No, which is why there is the cross platform standard CXF which allows for cross platform sharing of passkeys. Apple has announced that support for this is shipping later this year with iOS 26. Google hasn't announced when they are shipping it yet.

So until then you have to do what parent said? Change each one individually when you switch devices? Thanks but no.

I keep all my Passkeys in Bitwarden, it works fine across different devices and I use all major platforms regularly (iOS, Android, Windows, MacOS, ChromeOS). As a backup I've also added some extra duplicate Passkeys in the Chrome and iCloud password manager for the most important accounts in case I lose access to Bitwarden somehow.

Would’ve been nice if the basic UX would have been figured out before passkeys were shoved down everyone’s throats

It just wasn't an important consideration, unlike the attestation anti-feature.
