This is a horrible feature and needs to be addressed by Apple. Using an iPhone and a passcode a thief can remove your security keys with a few clicks. You can have a 30 character password you never wrote down, a security key in your vault, and anyone with the passcode can lock you out of your entire Apple ecosystem with a few clicks.
