How do I add a second passkey for my Google account?

I don’t use these passkeys for primary login, but for a second factor of authentication.

Ah – but you could still try out to which Google account it was the second factor, if you try to login with it (as the second factor).

Speaking of that - I indeed didn’t think of that usage yesterday (and I might add it in my previous post also) - of course, it would make sense to at least be able to store two “passkeys” in one BW login item, to be able to store one “login-passkey” and one “2FA-passkey”. Actually, there is a feature request about that topic: Allow storing multiple passkeys on one vault item

I’m not sure if there’s an improvement to be made to the BW UI that would have helped make the problem more obvious, but it seems like this was user error. Thank you for walking me through debugging!

Well, I think the BW UI could help maybe at least a bit. Instead of showing a passkey just like this:

… why not also show a passkey in the BW vault (apps) as it is shown in the “save passkey” and “login with passkey” popup windows:

?!

Then at least we would know (in most cases, I guess) the email / account or username which was used for that passkey.

And it would be nice to be able to give a passkey a label yourself. Even as long as we can only store one passkey in a login item, it would be helpful if we could label them as e.g. “login” or “2FA” or whatever.

(at the moment, I didn’t find a corresponding feature request for that…)

I’ll be able to solve my immediate problem by removing the passkey, recreating new passkeys and associating them with the correct BW items. […] Thank you for walking me through debugging!

Glad, we could help a bit. If you can, let us know if you were successful!
