So, I'm somebody who thinks about contingencies a lot and to my mind, there's just not a lot of gap between situations where you don't need credentials (e.g. satellite beacons don't care who you are) and where you don't have credentials (oh no, I lost all the gear) so it doesn't represent a big worry for me.

I don't want the consular officials to be unable to authenticate me in a foreign country because I lost my phone, or for my bank to be unable to release funds because I don't have their card or my Security Key, but I feel 100% OK with losing access to Gmail or Hacker News, or whatever for say a few days until I can secure replacement credentials.
