"Hello, IT, my toddler accidentally dropped my phone in the ocean. I can't log into anything now. No, I can't restore my iCloud keys onto my Windows laptop. Please help."

I suppose corporate gets to overnight you a yubikey in 2-3 days?



>Hello, IT, my toddler accidentally dropped my phone in the ocean. I can't log into anything now.

It's clear that you are making assumptions without doing any research...

Yes you can. See "Recovery security" section of this article:

>No, I can't restore my iCloud keys onto my Windows laptop.

Yes you can — see this article:

Read the KB carefully.

1. Your windows pc doesn't have a SecureEnclave (tpm2.0 doesn't count!) so no, you can't do PassKey recovery only password recovery.

2. You can only do iCloud recovery to another Mac/iOS device. In other words, not your windows PC. Hope you have a spare Macbook hiding out.
