Bitwarden and Passkey

Shouldn’t it be possible to disable the legacy login system if i use something like the Passkey Login?

There is a Feature Request for that: Ditch the master password in favor of passkeys

@LaCocoRoco

Then i also recognized when i safe the 2FA Passkey for my Mobile Phone where Bitwarden is the Password Manager and afterwards enable Passkey Login (Beta) with the same credentials this overwrites the Passkey for 2FA (Instead adding an additional one).

If you mean here, you stored the BW-login-passkey and BW-2FA-“passkey” in your Bitwarden vault itself, then 1. beware of the “circular dependency” (having to log in to Bitwarden, to be able to login to Bitwarden, is problematic…) and 2. as in Bitwarden, one login item can only store one passkey, a general (!) workaround in Bitwarden would be, to create a second login item for the other “passkey”-type. (I’m not sure, if that “workaround” could be done with e.g. the platform-passkey provider on your phone as well)

@LaCocoRoco

Passkey Login is redundant if i understood this correctly

Yeah, kind of. And at the moment, it is still only possible to login with the login-passkey to the web vault. But in the future, I think it will be possible to do more with the login-passkeys (e.g. logging in to other BW apps - and possibly also to unlock BW apps?!).

(–> “staff notice” to this feature request: Sign into Bitwarden with a passkey / "Login with passkeys")

Also see this post from @Micah_Edelblut from Bitwarden.

PS: And yeah, as long as there is a master password for the Bitwarden account, 2FA should remain enabled… because even if you have a login-passkey, the master password login would still be possible and should be secured with 2FA.
