I wanted to add hardware 2FA to Apple ID, and noticed this particularly strange requirement.

I get that two keys is ideal (one as daily driver and one as a backup), but who actually REGULARLY uses both keys? Seems strange.

Can anyone who has this already setup shed some light?

    That would make more sense! Kind of.

    I don’t have an Apple device that I use on a regular basis. Does this mean that hardware 2FA won’t work?

      I think you might be overthinking things. “Apple devices you use on a regular basis” just generically means whatever you use and plan to enable hardware 2FA for.

      Maybe it’s to emphasize that you’re now going to have to use your hardware keys to regularly use Apple services on your phone, in addition to things like passwords, Face ID, etc.

      Well, then it means you have nothing to worry about since you don’t have any devices it could be incompatible with.
