So when Mark Zuckerberg buys a new phone or whatever, what happens?

My bet is he emails the auth team and gives as much info as he can about the device. Then they create auth rules as if a regular login had happened.

I also assume if he's on the internal network it might be easier to just manually allow auth attemps from a few internal IPs for a few seconds.

My bet is that he emails someone on his staff one day and says “I want the new iPhone” and the next day he has one and he can do whatever he needs to on it.

This whole idea of “Zuck can’t log in from a new device” is laughable. That’s like saying Biden doesn’t have the keys to Air Force One. He doesn’t need them.
