I still haven’t really migrated to passkeys yet. Until Bitwarden on iOS properly supports them I won’t fully switch. I don’t want to have to manage a passkey on every device. So I will wait until I can sync between all my devices.
But when I did play with them a bit it seemed so full of weird pitfalls. Aren’t I supposed to be able to use my phones passkey to login on my PC with a QR code? I never got that to work. The article implies that might be a windows 10 vs 11 issue- but why? It’s a QR code. Windows 10 should be capable of displaying a QR code. I tried it just now. Windows pulls up a “making sure it’s you” box, with no buttons other than cancel, and no option to use the passkey from elsewhere. This computer doesn’t have a passkey, what is windows doing?

- jeroenhd 2y agoQR codes are usually the fallback method, I believe, because they're clunky and they suck if you need to do it more than once per week. Laptops and phones use Bluetooth Low Energy (among others) to communicate (CTAP 2.2) which is what your computer may be waiting on. I can't tell you why you couldn't log in, I use Bitwarden's passkeys and they work reliably for me. If you want the added security your phone's hardware encryption provides, I believe there are a few annoyances, particularly with the way Android 13 and lower, but I haven't had to look into those yet.
