About HW FIDO2 Provider

Should I rename it? If you think so, any suggestion?

The app supports the secure element of the phone in addition to hardware keys.

At this point, as the absolute cryptography and security layman I am, I have no idea anymore what #Firefox asks from me. Do those words on my screen have any meaningful meaning to them? Hashtag #Passkey.

Edit: So based on the words "Settings app", I think this may have been a #Windows dialog asking if Firefox may access passkeys stored in Windows. I don't have any passkeys stored in Windows, nor will I ever allow credentials to be locked into any other OS's password storage. Go away.

I use a #passkey with my #Microsoft account. They have an option to turn an account into a fully passwordless one. I want to enable it. The unfortunate thing is that they require you to set up the Microsoft Authenticator mobile app (or Outlook for Android, if you prefer) to be able to get rid of your password. This is obnoxious. A passkey is enough. Don't make me also use your proprietary solution to be able to get rid of my password.
