Can you clone or sync hardware keys? Maybe they don't fail as much as computers do but they can be lost or stolen like the keys that we use to open (dumb) doors

My non hardware key is a keypass file that I update only on my laptop and I sync to my other devices. I have plenty of backups. It does also the TOTP required to login into some customers servers.
- mingus88 5d agoI have a few yubikeys and it’s a manual process to sync a new key last time I tried I keep all my TOTP keys on an encrypted usb drive in a safe. When I lose a key, I manually add all the TOTP accounts onto the new key from my safe Passkeys are a different story. Every account I need to make sure I have multiple yubikeys registered. When I lose one, I get in via a second key and then add the replacement one. It’s a pain but it’s a model that makes sense to me. Lose the key? Time to reach for my backup key.
- __MatrixMan__ 5d agoYeah it feels pretty dumb to have to register all of my keys with each service, but as far as I can tell it's the least dumb thing.
