Using Physical Security Keys I recently set up two physical security keys on my Apple Id account for 2FA purposes. I did this using my iPhone running iOS 16.3, the minimum iOS version necessary to set up hardware security keys. I also have a MacBook Pro which is quite old and thus cannot be updated beyond macOS Big Sur. This OS version does not allow for adding hardware keys to the Apple Id account, which is why I used the iPhone to perform that operation. Associating the hardware keys to my Apple Id is great for security since the hardware keys are now required to log in from any device other than my iPhone or MacBook. Having set up the hardware keys, it suddenly occurred to me that I may have created a trap. What happens if the MacBook gets logged out of the Apple Id account or becomes disassociated with that account in some other way? Will I need the hardware security keys on the MacBook to log it back into Apple Id? If so, I have made a problem for myself since my MacBook OS version does not allow using security keys with Apple Id -- at least that is my understanding. A clarification from someone who really knows this stuff would be greatly appreciated!
