Passkeys and Firefox

I was thinking about that too. It’s always hard to know whether to create a new thread or use an existing one. Often similar threads are merged together. I’m happy and willing to do whatever is best to keep things organized here.

On my Linux PC I can connect my phone to the PC via Bluetooth. Then when I log into a site (using the PC) for which I have a passkey stored on my phone, a notification appears on the phone where I authenticate biometrically (fingerprint) and the passkey is confirmed, logging me into the site on the browser on the PC.

That’s an interesting trick. What type of phone is it?

Pixel but I think any Android will work.

Google automatically creates a passkey on the phone when you sign into your account on the phone; that’s the one I am referring to.

There’s one other account I have that supports passkeys to log into their mobile website but not on their desktop website (odd) so that’s the only other one that I store in the Google password manager.
