Does it make sense to sync passkeys? If you sync them they lose their benefit of proving that you have a specific device
They're not a second factor though, they're an alternative to the first factor (the password). I assume you'd still want something else for 2FA.
@lud @testeronious why the hell would someone design a spec that is dependent on hardware and impossible to port?
