Eh, somewhat. The lost key account recovery story is much better in large organisations, where you have a 24/7 helpdesk that can check your ID badge in person, a HR department with a photocopy of your passport, and suchlike.

But for example if you're using Azure/AD? No U2F + Password allowed, gotta go straight to "passwordless" [1].

So they never took off far enough for Microsoft to support them.
