It’s no big deal. Just contact Google’s helpful customer service. I’m sure you’ll get a response.

If you have paid for google one, as I have, the help desk is real people and they are nice and responsive.

I appreciate the corner case catch-22 "you need to be logged on to prove your status" but please, don't perpetuate the meme there is no google help desk.

If you want google help desk, pay Google for support.

This got me to check Bitwardens account export, which does not include any private keys making the backup "incomplete" in terms of importing it into a separate platform.

I guess this is by design, the user can't self "own", but they also cant self own the data. It does look a bit like lock-in though.

I was recently looking at Pocket-ID as a SSO for my home lab, which only supports passkeys by design. In that context I can probably hack the gibson and get into my accounts if something went wrong, but it does make me uneasy about a future where most sites only accept a passkey.

Bitwarden says that "Passkeys are included in .json exports from Bitwarden." I'm not sure if it's true but it should be there by now.

I just migrated to a new Bitwarden server using their JSON export/import and it included my passkeys.
