Regarding this blog post: Why protecting 1Password with a passkey is just as secure as a password and Secret Key.
What happens in a disaster if all three of my devices containing the passkey are destroyed? Is there going to be a passkey "Emergency Kit"?

    Hi @daniel_,

    If you choose to unlock 1Password with a passkey, we recommend storing that passkey in a platform account, such as Apple’s iCloud Keychain, and that you also have more than one device synced with that platform account. This way, if you lose a device, you have another way to recover your 1Password account.

    While we are still working through the exact details of how account recovery will work in 1Password, we plan to include multiple secure options in case you lose a device or biometrics are not available. Generally, we recommend adding as many trusted devices across platforms as possible. Other fallback methods may be available, such as a recovery code or account recovery contact. We look forward to sharing more with you soon.
