Do you add separate keys on every device?
If you do, how long does it take you to add a new device?

For example, when you login on Github, go in your settings, authentication & security on the left.

Click "add passkey", enter your Windows Hello PIN, click save.

It will ask you to enter a name, so I go with ComputerName-GitHub

Click ok.

Done with this device.

How long does it take? Well, how fast can you do these steps?

This does not scale. I have 400 logins in my Bitwarden account right now.
