Up until now, I have been logging into the Bitwarden web vault using a username and password plus 2FA (from an Authenticater app on my iPhone). I am running Windows 10 and Firefox 126.0.
Once logged into the Bitwarden vault, I went to Settings → Security → Master Password tab. On this page I selected “New passkey”, entered my password, created a key, and gave it a name.
Then, I logged out of the Bitwarden web vault and tried logging back in with the newly created passkey. It prompted me for my Windows Hello PIN. After entering that, I got this error popup:
Is what I did supposed to work or am I doing something wrong?
I have no idea why it doesn’t work, but there is a bug filed 3 weeks ago on Chrome with no responses. The user reported that it is only on Windows 10. Also,
Firefox browser doesn’t support PRF extension, which means you will have to give a password to decrypt your vault after logging in with passkey, which defeats the passwordless convenience of this login method.
For Firefox browser, I recommend using “Login with device” where you can use your desktop/mobile to approve a login without a password, with the flexibility of using 2FA or not.
