🔐 By community request, you can now unlock your vault with a passkey,

Available now in the web app and with Chromium-based browser extensions (rolling out this week).

Why passkeys?

✅ Faster than typing your master password

✅ Phishing-proof: only work on originating website

Requires a compatible PRF-capable setup

@bitwarden It would be ideal if my Firefox could function as a passkey vault; otherwise, it simply becomes another form of vendor lock-in by Apple.

The primary challenge with passkeys is the limited number of compatible vaults.

@kotaro Hi there, you can also store the passkey for your Bitwarden vault on a security key protected by pin.

@bitwarden Nah, in that case I'd have to buy a YubiKey or something.

I can't keep the passkey for opening my Bitwarden vault inside Bitwarden itself.

But yeah, I'll admit that buying a FIDO hardware key for this is probably the best way to go for me.
