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?

    Are you talking about this?

    At least two FIDO® Certified* security keys that work with the Apple devices that you use on a regular basis.

    I think “the Apple devices that you use on a regular basis” is the part that belongs together.

      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?

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