Passkey
can be lost if:
the user loses access to their account (Apple, Windows, Google) or all devices (especially if on Android with a pre-passkey webAuthN implementation) and loses all recovery paths
the user loses access to encrypted information by irrecoverably forgetting the passcode
the user intentionally resets all devices or deletes their account
Non-duress attacks include:
zero-day exploits affecting the secure hardware
physical theft of a device, combined with a biometric workaround or an insecure passcode NEW: Apple has included an upgraded security model which avoids an attacker being able to take over a device and Passkeys simply by knowing the passcode. Obi will recommend this to users, as well as any Android equivalent.
