@Bartee Hi!

You mean a passkey to login to Bitwarden? - That is still in Beta and only possible for the web vault. A detailed setup-guide is in the help sites: Log in with Passkeys | Bitwarden Help Center

How can you tell if it is own.
I still have to log in each time on my cell.

Unfortunately, Iā€™m not sure what you mean by that.

It is ā€œlogin with passkeyā€, not ā€œstay logged in with passkeyā€. So of course, you have to still login - but now with a passkey.

And what do you mean by ā€œon my cellā€? Okay, mobile I guessā€¦ but as I stated before, when you go to your browser on mobile, you can now login with a passkey into the web vault. It is not possible at the moment, to login to the Bitwarden mobile app with a passkey.

Again, it would only work for the web vault in the browser, meaning visiting vault.bitwarden.com or vault.bitwarden.eu, depending on which server region you have your account onā€¦ and you need to follow the dialogues to access your passkey then. (e.g. Iā€™m on Windows and if I click on ā€œlogin with passkeyā€, my browser ā€œopensā€ Windows Hello/Windows Security, where I can choose the locationā€¦)
