How to add a second Passkey?

I enabled the Passkey authentication option in my account settings, then the Passkey popup came up in the browser on my Mac, I created the passkey and can now log in with the Passkey. Great!

But what about my work PC?

I can still log in with username & password on my work PC. But how do I create a Passkey for this machine? The Passkey authentication option is already enabled in my account settings, so how do I trigger the Passkey popup again to create another one?

I know that Passkeys can sync via iCloud for example, but I can’t use my private Mac iCloud account on my work PC, so I need to create a new Passkey. Also the idea of Passkeys is, that they are bound to the machine, so sharing a Passkey isn’t really intended.

Hi @Cheesekeeper, thanks for posting about this!

Indeed, there is no way to add a 2nd passkey at this time. Adding this as a feature request on our end. Would it be a viable workaround to use Google or a tool like 1Password across these devices and store the passkey there, considering your private iCloud is not an option?

Thank you for considering this a feature request!

I indeed use 1Password for sharing the Passkey now. It’s fine, but still I’d prefer to have a Passkey per machine, so I can invalidate it if one PC gets compromised. I’m looking forward to the future implementation of multiple Passkeys!
