Do passkeys become invalid if a new one is made for a username? Or can both keys now be used by different clients under the same username?

Passkeys do not expire or become invalid. Each passkey is unique to a specific user name and email address combo. If you request another passkey using the same user name and email address, you will get the same passkey again. The only way to get a different passkey is to request a key using a different user name, and/or with a different email address.

You will want to use only one passkey to keep your points consolidated, unless you specifically want them seperated, points on each passkey. Note that points will still be consolidated under the one user name, regardless of how many passkeys you use.

It's like your social security #. You only need one, and you don't want to give it out to anyone. And only in extreme circumstances would you ever need to change it.
