Apple doesn't put the identifier in the Passkey, so when storing multiple ones you don't know which one is related to which Apple ID..

So good luck figuring out which one you need to remove if you need to do a cleanup.

  • You know you can edit those entries and add an identifier, right?

    • You can, but you shouldn't have to.

      Most services embed the identifier in the enrollment token so it just shows up.

    • Do you have one (or two), and have you even tried?

      I confirm that I can't change it on my Yubikey 5 C NFC, same thing with my Feitian K40. Only select or delete.

  • I don't understand why apps and services are so obsessed with 'Passkey' or password-less login. I know there's some risk using email & password login method, but the passkey thing is half-baked and it locks users from getting their account back if somehow they forget it, especially Google's passkey approach is totally awful.

    • This is why you should have a spare key in case you lose your main one and print out your recovery keys.

      Mine is on my keychain so if I lose that, I have bigger problems than getting back into my accounts.

      • Can you imagine if every company forces users to use Passkey instead of other log in methods, how many printed copies or keys you'll need, plus the spare copies and back-up keys?
