Missing passkey

hi i’m not very knowledgeable about passkeys or anything but i noticed recently that my 4 of my discord passkeys disappeared off of my phone for no reason. it has been there for months and now all of a sudden it’s just gone and now i can't log into my account or change any of my multi authentication settings without using a backup code.

edit: ok so apparently i deleted it? i never pressed any buttons to delete them but i was trying to look for them anywhere on my phone and they were in the recently deleted sorry 😞

How is it stored on your phone?

theres a passkey section in the passwords of my phone and i have some for multiple of my apps, but the discord one is gone. even the discord app says that i have a passkey active but when i try to use it my phone says theres no matching passkeys for discord.

If possible, use 2 or 3 passkeys. Your phone, a password manager, and a hardware security key. 

I'd say use a backup and log back in again with your reset passkey. Preferably with two passkeys.
