Origin

Native Application (non-browser app)

Web URL or App name

All. Microsoft Live, paypal, webauthn.io, etc

Passkey Action

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

Build Information

Description:
I’m experiencing a critical issue with passkeys on Android 14 using Bitwarden as the default credential provider.

On Windows 11 using Brave, everything works perfectly — I can create and use passkeys with Bitwarden. However, on my Android 14 device (OnePlus 8T) using Brave (latest version) and Bitwarden (latest version), passkeys do not work at all.

I have Bitwarden set as the default autofill and credential provider in Android settings with all permissions granted.

When I try to create a new passkey, Android always redirects me to Google Password Manager instead of using Bitwarden.

When I try to use an existing passkey saved in my Bitwarden vault, it is not offered as an option — only Google is.

I cannot use or create passkeys with Bitwarden on Android at all.

Bitwarden is selected as both the autofill service and the credential/passkey provider.

In chrome://flags, the "Enable third-party passkey providers" option no longer exists.

Additional Information

No response

Issue Tracking Info

  • 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.

I work at Bitwarden, but not on Android. I know that Google Chrome recently added another layer of settings to have a 3p credential provider work, not sure if Brave is impacted by that.

I've notified our android fokes, they might have more up to date info!

My colleagues at Bitwarden were quick to point out that you need to enable bitwarden in Brave:

I've done it in both Brave and Chrome. I've restarted. It doesn't work.

@Sirfrancis18 Another user here...

Bitwarden is selected as both the autofill service and the credential/passkey provider.

On your Android device, when you go to Settings - do you see "Passwords and Accounts" or something like "Passwords, Passkeys and Accounts" as an entry there? (so, are passkeys mentioned there or not?)

Then it seems to me, your device is one of those Android 14 devices, that don't have third-party passkey support yet.

(I learned of this myself the hard way... my Fairphone 5 is still on Android 14, and they also didn't include the activation of the new Google/Android "credential manager"... so, no third-party passkey support for those devices... -- I hope for Android 15 myself, as I understood, the new "credential manager" should be used mandatorily on Android 15...)

ok. Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I don't think my phone will support Android 15.
