Encryption key support for Confer.to / supporting PRF Encryption with Passkey storage

[grb]

I’ve tried this using Chrome in Windows 11, and it does not work. Bitwarden stores the passkey, but it is not a PRF-capable passkey.

 

The same setup (Chrome and Windows 11) readily handles PRF-capable passkeys that are stored on a YubiKey, so the reason that confer.to throws an error message is that the generated passkey is not PRF capable.

I don’t know how u/djasonpenney got this to work, unless this has been developed under the radar for the iOS app only, and released without fanfare. And clearly, Jason misunderstood the Feature Request thread, so it is not impossible that he may have misunderstood other details, as well (such as where his confer.to passkey is stored).

Tried to signup so I can use Confer found at Confer.to and got this message: “Your authenticator doesn’t support encryption keys. Please try again using 1Password — some password managers like Bitwarden don’t work yet.”

@eufnis Is that a verbatim quote of the error message you saw? As you can see in my screenshot, the error message does not call out Bitwarden by name (at least not anymore).
