I have the Bitwarden browser extension installed in several browsers on Linux Mint. I have set the notifications to ask to save and use passkeys, but am not able to create passkeys.
ext Version 2026.2.0 Any explanation would be appreciated

@Bill1 Welcome to the forum!
Did it work until recently (before it stopped) – or do you try to set this up for the first time?
Linux Mint is not using Wayland, right? (there is a bug with Wayland affecting passkey usage…)
Let’s say you would like to store a passkey for this forum here in your Bitwarden vault via the browser extension… if you go to Preferences → Security here on the forum and click + Add passkey – what does happen? (if you post a screenshot, make sure to redact any personal information)
Sites (relying parties) can restrict what “happens” with their passkeys… If a site restricts passkey storage to hardware-bound passkeys (e.g. passkeys stored on physical security keys), then you can’t store them in Bitwarden.
I’m not exactly sure about that screenshot. First, it’s about log in / sign in, and not storing a passkey. So that could mean, the site “knows” that there must be a hardware-bound passkey (which was set up before for that site), that you have to provide now.
