It's probably more painful than that.

Let's say that I have two laptops, a MacBook Air and a Lenovo ThinkPad. I create an account with an Apple Passkey on a website. I can now log into my account on the MacBook Air, but not on the Lenovo ThinkPad.

How do I register my ThinkPad? I need to log into my existing account to add a new authenticator (Windows Hello in this case). Does the website offer an email link I can use to log into the account? Do I have a backup code that I need to use? Do I need to set a password and log in the normal way (thus removing the advertised phishing and database leak benefits)?
