alt Hacker News> Linux is the only oddball here, I had issues getting this flow to work.
Take a guess why.
Passkeys are just a trick for vendor lock-in disguised as a security practice.

Firefox just didn't support it cleanly, I think Chrome did, I don't remember. Apparently it's just due to Linux not having a native passkey implementation. Dang.
Edit:
Apparently BitWarden should work, but my particular passkey was not on there.
Unpopular opinion but correct the whole thing has been designed to lock you to devices they make and have themselves be the arbiter of your authentication.
If that wasn't the intent they could have make the thing work like ssh keys, encrypted at rest, you can take them wherever you want.
What are you talking about? I can literally export all that data to another OS or password manager. Takes a whopping single click.
They are, however, completely unphishable, which is a big plus IMHO
