Passkey Action

  • Creating new passkey (Registration)
  • Signing in (Authentication)

In Android, you can add Google account via default Settings App. When I try to login to Google account which has passkey, it doesn't show bitwarden passkey.

  • I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.

With a passkey that is stored in your Bitwarden vault?

Thank you!

Yes, It is only saved in my Bitwarden vault. not in other places like Google Password Manager.

@tomocrafter I am able to reproduce this. After attaching the debugger, I see that the GetCredentialsRequest we expect from the OS is never received. This leads me to believe it is either a bug or intended behavior on Google's part. I've opened a ticket1 with Google to get clarification on the expected behavior.
