How do you transfer your passkey to a new device?

    If you use a self-hosted password manager like bitwarden, then its there. If you use a file-based password manager like keepass, then you can use any syncing method you choose, and its no different from passwords.

    You don’t, you can have multiple passkeys, one for each device.

    ok.

    How do you add a new device to your account without a password or the old device?

    Password, then get a prompt about registering a new passkey.

    After that I can use the passkey registered on either device.

    Edit: to clarify, most sites still let you log in with a password after you’ve registered a passkey
