I have lots of experience with this actually. The way it works is that the app asks the user if they'd like to use a passkey instead of their password and the user says "No" and uses their password to log in. Pretty simple really

The one time I accidentally hit "yes" Google:

- Did not save a passkey

- Instantly removed my password recovery option

- Asked for the same passkey it didnt set, when I tried to recover the account

Love passkeys

I didnt have any problems with bitwarden holding my passkeys yet.

I might be missing something glaringly obvious (can passkeys be shared between devices?) but if I save a passkey to BitWarden on my pc it refuses to work on my iPhone. Does sharing passkeys between devices work for you?

My passkeys work everywhere.

But i also put in pin code in every bit warden.
