[QUOTE="simmerskool, post: 1060668, member: 61091"] Everytime I think I understand passkeys (& perhaps I do in theory) I read something that seems not to "add-up." Eg the Bitwarden link posted above seems to have good FAQ and says: "Similarly, Bitwarden users will be able to access their Bitwarden accounts with a passkey instead of their master password...Coming fall 2023, users will be able to use a passkey to access their accounts without a master password." I just logged into my Bitwarden account, and I find no option about passkeys. It has been Fall for nearly 3 weeks. So I guess "will be able" means not available yet, but BW is posting FAQ about a system or feature they have not yet made available. Thread starts out about Google passkeys -- well and good, Google gave me the option of creating a passkey some weeks ago which I did. And Bitwarden is explaining passkeys but seems not to be offering them yet. It irks me that Bitwarden is an "authority" about passkeys but is not yet offering them. Will BW implementation of passkeys work as they claim in the FAQ? :unsure: Is this only for BW Business Plans? I see no publication date on FAQ. Irked I guess because I spent the time to read the FAQ in detail, and only after the fact discover this feature is not available, or so it seems. Did I miss something?
