Also, what happens if your device with the passkey fails?

Like the drive craps out?

You are supposed to have two redundant ones. Hooked up to every service. One leaves the house with you, the other stays in a safe, and you rotate them periodically

and nobody is gonna fucking do that lol

Mine are USB-A and USB-C so no two computers can use both. One of them randomly quit working (something in the OS dropped support for it maybe?) but then I think started working again?

At an old job I had a lot of control over my own infra and I used my HSM to log in to my forge. I haven't used it daily in years now.
