Oof, yeah this relates back to “please assume every user has two and a half passkeys at all times”. It’s still fascinating and ugly how many websites still only support “enroll A passkey” workflows and balk at multi-passkey. The number of “single ecosystem” users that only use iPhone+macOS are the minority. Everybody else generally has at least two ecosystems in their house. (Even Android+Chrome on Windows user is still weirdly fragmented and going to find multi-passkey easier.)

Source: I run a tiny hobby site that only supports Passkey login. I’m glad it is an intentionally small site because troubleshooting user issues is wild. Average number of passkeys by email last I ran numbers was about 1.75 and I think it’s still too low, partly because “give me a link I can enroll another device” was a feature I only recently prioritized. Windows 11’s bluetooth flow is still too confusing for average users and I kept hoping to find a good transactional email vendor for hobby projects, but transactional email is so expensive for just passkey recovery/enrollment mail.

The toughest part of the is trying to figure out which Ws are pronounced like Vs. Bet it’s a wild tongue twister between the switch ups.

I’m mostly sure this the premise to a 90s cyber-horror movie or five and also a tossed side plot from a Laundry Files novel for being too unbelievable in fiction.
