Extra security is welcome, but I'm simultaneously terrified that I'll somehow get locked out of my Apple ID or main Gmail account.

Everything I read about Passkeys says this scenario is 100% impossible, as it's based on biometrics and no longer using a text string that can get lost, but I'm still nervous AF. I've had to do the "reset a password that's behind 2FA" dance before and it makes me want to crawl in a hole and die - super duper scary.

Somebody tell me to chill out.
