It depends on the password manager you use. If you’re using Google or Apple’s password manager, you’re probably okay if you lose a device, but the one risk you can’t fix without having another password manager is if they cancel your account.
If you use both of them, though, that covers it.
Passkey syncing across password managers isn’t implemented yet, so it means manually adding an account in both places if you go that route. Hopefully that will be fixed by a new standard.

Are those even really password managers? I used to use 1Password, but got tired of only being able to sync through iCloud. About a year in, I switched to Enpass since it did webdav. Biggest gripe is that there is no native Xbox app with it, make it a pain to track some of the kid's game passwords.
They store passwords, and now also passkeys. How are they not password managers?
They’re probably the most-used password managers, since people use them without necessarily realizing that they’re using a password manager.
The thing about passkeys is that they make everyone use a password manager whether they want to or not. It’s a protocol that requires a password manager - there is no manual way to do it.
