>When I make an account, if I have at least two authenticators around me
If you do, you're in a tiny minority of users. Well, even if you have one you're in a tiny minority, but having two laying around is extremely unusual.
Only because I bothered to buy a few. If they're making a new account they're probably on a device which can be an authenticator, i.e. a passkey. Is it rare for people to be far away from their keyring where they potentially have a car key and a house key and what not?
Do most people with hardware authenticators not also have laptops, desktops, or phones? They just have an authenticator, no other computers?
This person I replied to already has two hardware tokens. They probably also have a phone that can be used with passkeys, they probably also have a laptop which can be used with passkeys, they might also have a tablet or desktop which can be used with passkeys. That person probably has 3-6 authenticators, and is probably with two of them often if they carry keys regularly.
