@chilly-king-10285 can we have multiple passkeys for the same user account?

Based on the knowledge sources, Ory supports multiple authentication methods for the same user account, including passkeys. While there isn't explicit documentation stating that multiple passkeys can be registered for a single user account, the information suggests this is possible through several aspects of Ory's identity management: 1. Ory supports multiple credentials per identity. As shown in the identity schema documentation, you can configure multiple authentication methods for the same user traits, including passkeys:
Copy code
json {   "traits": {     "type": "object",     "properties": {       "email": {         "type": "string",         "format": "email",         "<http://ory.sh/kratos|ory.sh/kratos>": {           "credentials": {             "password": {               "identifier": true             },             "webauthn": {               "identifier": true             },             "passkey": {               "display_name": true             }           }         }       }     }   } }
2. Ory supports cross-platform passkeys, allowing users to authenticate across multiple devices using the same key, which suggests flexibility in passkey management [Blog > Login and authentication in 2023 explained](https://www.ory.sh/blog/overview-login-password-passkey-webauthn-totp-sso-faceid). 3. The documentation discusses passkey sharing between devices and secure transfer of passkeys to new devices, indicating that multiple passkeys can be associated with a user account [Docs > Kratos > Passwordless](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/passwordless/passwordless#logging-in-with-a-passkey-across-multiple-devices). However, it's worth noting that WebAuthn (the underlying technology for passkeys) has some constraints, particularly that it's domain-specific and doesn't work across multiple domains [Docs > Kratos > Passwordless > Passkeys & WebAuthN](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/passwordless/passkeys#constraints). If you need more specific information about managing multiple passkeys for a single user account, you might want to consult the Ory documentation directly or contact Ory support.
