Nothing in the post you're replying to is about "is 2000 passkeys storable", it's about "if I have 2000 passkeys and I need to move between an Apple device and an Android device, do I need to establish a second set of 2000 passkeys"?

Not at the moment. But if you sign into google account in iPhone then you can use Google's passkeys in iPhone.

At the end, passkeys are built not for the tin-foil, (I hate Google Apple fellows), I want to keep every single locally, RMS fans. No.

A majority will benefit. End of matter.

A majority don't change platforms (I have not seen them do it).

And lets be honest - even if they were portable are you privacy person that is going to do it? No.

No, the majority will not. If through some miracles, passkeys gain sudden and wide adoption, there will be a day of reckoning come around the next mobile refreshment cycle, maybe earlier.

People break their phones. That is normal experience. Entirely unsupported by passkeys as they are today.

I'm actually surprised we didn't have more pushback for ubiquitous 2FA, as they have similar threat profile - i.e. addressing the tin-foil threats of cybersecurity aficionados, while entirely ignoring the common threats to real people, in particular the one of broken or lost mobile device.

Incorrect. They break but they fix it.

People break their phones less often compared to telling them keep their keepassdatabase in sync across devices.

Even recently my friend fixed his iPhone XR (10 year old) 3rd party. Everything including passkeys work fine.

No you don't. I use the same passkeys for all my devices sync'd with bitwarden.

Exactly. Bitwarden, not the Apple/Google/Microsoft keychain. That's the problem.
