It seems Firefox implemented passkeys for Windows and MacOS but lack support for Linux as shown in https://www.passkeys.io/compatible-devices
I don't quite understand what is so platform specific. Of course, integration in the native platform password manager is nice but not mandatory. Firefox already stores its passwords and can sync them with Firefox Sync. What's so different with passkeys and what's the status of this feature? As a web developer if I can provide passkeys as the primary login method, this would be a great step forward, but it'd be better to have full browser compatibility. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1989976 Title: [upstream] wishlist: Passkeys should be supported Status in Mozilla Firefox: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Starting from 2022 the main big tech companies introduce Passkeys. Or in the more official name Fido Multi-device credentials. Basically this is a webauthn login, but the private key is distributed among all the devices in a persons Google, Microsoft and iCloud account. If a person wants to login in on a device not in the account a QR code should be scanned after which the computers do some cryptographic magic via Bluetooth. And the new device also has the private key. This method is supposed to be a lot safer and more convenient than the usual passwords. As far as I know this system is open. My wish is that Ubuntu and Linux in general also will support this Passkeys thing. Regards, Martijn.
