Passkey Migration Copilot

Help everyday users safely migrate and back up credentials before Google and others mandate passkeys

Problem
Google is starting to require passkeys for certain sensitive account actions, and users who haven't set them up may get locked out at critical moments. Meanwhile, users report hostile verification flows and no way to reach Google support after canceling a subscription, showing how bad big-platform account recovery can be.
Solution
A step-by-step guide that inventories which accounts are moving to mandatory passkeys, generates a personalized migration order, checks device and backup-code readiness, and produces an offline recovery pack. It never stores passwords—just orchestrates the process and checklists.
Users
Non-technical Google/Microsoft/Apple users and small-team admins
MVP
Knowledge base of major platform passkey mandates; personal account migration checklist; encrypted recovery-code vault; device compatibility self-check; exportable emergency recovery card
Revenue
Subscription $3–5/month or one-time $15; per-seat enterprise tier
Why now
Passkey mandates are shifting from optional to required, and most ordinary users are unprepared; an indie developer can build a lightweight guidance layer without competing with identity providers
