That does seem circular in Google's case, no? What cloud storage?

Which I cannot access because I lost my passkey device.

Will I still have access to that if Google decides randomly to lock me out of my account?

Given their awesome track record, Google is the LAST company I'd trust not to shut down or lock me out of such a critical tool.

If you are on Apple ecosystem, iCloud can sync. Other password managers like 1Password can also be used to store your passkeys. If none of the above, you can always set up a physical security key and leave it at home.

IMO if you're reading hacker news, you're fully capable of setting one up and leaving it in a safe locale for recovery.
