πŸ” 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?

βœ… Faster than typing your master password

βœ… Phishing-proof: only work on originating website

Requires a compatible PRF-capable setup

@danhugo Hi Dan! If you already have a Yubikey lying around, it's a great backup option for seamless vault access, and you can protect the Yubikey with a pin.

@bitwarden

@jackf723 @danhugo this isn't a feature that I'm very familiar with personally, but https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Authentication_API/WebAuthn_extensions suggests this was shipped in 139
Web Authentication extensions - Web APIs | MDN

The Web Authentication API has a system of extensions β€” extra functionality that can be requested during credential creation (navigator.credentials.create()) or authentication (navigator.credentials.get()) operations. This article explains how to request WebAuthn extensions, retrieve information about the responses from those requests, and the available extensions β€” including browser support and expected inputs and outputs.

Definitely looking forward to selecting a clip for this one…

Password managers' promise that they can't see your vaults isn't always true

Contrary to what password managers say, a server compromise can mean game over.
