No steps, other than try to log in or unlock vault after having logged in with password.

Expected Result

To have passkey as an option to login and unlock vault.

Actual Result

Only show master password or with device for login and only master password to unlock.

Well, me too... and probably many others as well. But usually, GitHub issues are used for bug reports and not for missing features.

PS: There is a feature request for that in the Bitwarden Community Forum: https://community.bitwarden.com/t/sign-into-bitwarden-with-a-passkey-login-with-passkeys-for-all-bw-apps/41053
