Password safe runs on multiple operating systems. I sync my file to cloud storage so it's up to date on all my devices
I have a backup key in a drawer and one on me at all times.
I really need to buy a few more backup keys.
It's not a perfect set up but it works for me.
I did this recently and the experience has been surprisingly way easier and better than I could have imagined.
Owner of a Pixel that just died in my hands. Had I not been with company that day, I would have been in a real situation.
Edit: also, if I keep it on the phone, will Apple/Google deign grant me access to export my secrets on demand or will they deem I cannot be trusted with such power?
_Breaking in_ is very hard since the security model for phones is very high, especially in cases of Pixels and iPhones. Even if a pin is used, the security chip makes it very hard to break in. If you mean also in case of losing it: Not as a small device that has much more higher chances of being lost.

Don't know about that, since passkeys are still pretty new, but probably it will be an option. Does a yubikey allows you to export secrets?
Edit: typo
No, that would defeat the purpose. If you want exportable secrets just use a thumb drive.
My question would be who is in control of the backups? The same vendors who want to lock you into their ecosystem?
Not the same as a small key that can be stolen.

You, as it's encrypted (in case of apple, not sure about Google). Backup is up to you, you can also backup to other services such as nextcloud.
