Another user here.

Web URL or App name
telegram x binance

There was a bug report about "Binance" - including a fix, if I see it correctly: https://github.com/bitwarden/android/issues/5608

And just a few days ago, I could create a passkey for/with the Telegram app, as I wrote in this comment: https://github.com/bitwarden/android/issues/5329#issuecomment-3635084016

This may be totally useless now for you -- as this either is indeed a bug and/or you already set everything up correctly. But as passkeys don't work for you at all, I would recommend to check if everything is indeed set up correctly. Those wo posts/threads from the Bitwarden Community Forum are a good place to do that:

(PS: both links also contain links to the official BW Help Sites - that's the only reason why I didn't link them here also)

One Plus PJX110 with ColorOS 15 / Android 15, this happens when I try to add passkey in both PayPal and Telegram.

我前天在中国时遇到了一样的问题，然而今天到了国外后，我发现我可以正常创建passkey了。由于bitwarden在国内可以正常访问，因此我猜测可能很多人不会为此开启代理。我的手机是 iqoo z10 turbo。

I encountered the same issue when I was in China the day before yesterday. However, after arriving abroad today, I found that I can create passkeys normally.
Since Bitwarden is accessible in mainland China, I suspect many users may not enable a proxy for this.
My device is iQOO Z10 Turbo.

感谢告知！但是我刚才尝试使用global全局代理依然无法创建passkey，我怀疑是设备导致的问题，中国对passkey的支持和推广很差。

Thank you for letting me know! However, when I tried to use the global proxy, I still couldn't create a passkey. I suspect that the problem is caused by the device. China's support and promotion of passkey is poor.。

I still think this is irrelevant to the device as I can use my device to create passkey now, which I could not when I was in China, with same procedure and the error mesg same with yours.

I dont know Android at all. But I suspect that some traffic may bypass the VPN. It might be helpful if anyone can try:

  1. Use global proxy on a router;
  2. Let ur Android connect to the internet through the router.
  3. check if u can create the passkey

It might be easier if anyone has a rooted device. I dont think windows + TUN + hotspot can solve this unless anyone knows how to force the traffice from hotspot go through TUN (by default it should not be).

I've captured a flight log. Bitwarden Android client tries to connect to digitalassetlinks.googleapis.com EVEN WHEN I USE A SELF-HOSTED SERVER, and as we know googleapis.com is not available in Mainland China. That may be why it fails to create/verify a passkey.

A candidate workaround for Bitwarden developers:

If Google service is blocked or down, provide a solid fallback: just goes straight to the source, for example, a direct HTTPS GET to: https://<domain>/.well-known/assetlinks.json

See Android developer doc:
