Passkey update: Bitwarden, Firefox, and Safari all seem to play nicely together now when it comes to passkeys. I’ve been creating and saving passkeys into Bitwarden whenever a site prompts me to set one up. Signing in with them works how I would expect. It’s not really a different UX from signing in with a username and password using a password manager.
And I think I’m defeating the purpose of passkeys by storing them in a central vault, but hey if websites won’t log me out or ask for 2FA so often that’s a trade I will happily make. The accounts I really need secured get the Yubikey.

Interesting, looks like the technology is progressing. I tried them out on Bitwarden as well but eventually decided they're not really needed if you're already using a password manager.
Does Bitwarden allow making passkeys backups or exports?

Hm, I don’t see an option for it in the UI, but if you self-host bitwarden you can back up the whole db.
Maybe I will reach the same conclusion. At the very least I suppose it can stop websites from bugging me about setting them up.
Thanks 🫂
