“You can use the built-in authenticators in your phones and laptops to unlock a cryptographically secured credential to your AWS sign-in experience,” AWS said. “And when using a cloud service to store the passkey (such as iCloud keychain, Google accounts, or 1Password), the passkey can be accessed from any of your devices connected to your passkey provider account. This helps you to recover your passkey in the unfortunate case of losing a device.”
