Additional Information
Most important thing first: it seems to be connected to certain browsers! In my case, I get those errors only when I use Ironfox (which is in the list of the "privileged apps") - and not on Brave, Vivaldi, Firefox, Edge (those were the ones I tested it now).
And then for context, this issue was first reported here, but as you can see in the latest posts there, it doesn't seem to be an issue connected to the server (and also not to custom ROMs, as discussed there), as I could reproduce this issue with a BW EU cloud account, a stock ROM on my FP5, and the only meaningful difference seems to be the browser. (in that other GitHub issue, Fennec and Cromite were also mentioned where it wouldn't work)
[PS: IronFox 147.0.2, installed etc. via "Accrescent"]
When I try to create a passkey with Ironfox, I get this error (besides "An error has occurred. - Passkeys not supported for this app"):
Furthermore, when I try to log in with an existing passkey via Ironfox, I get those error messages (again, besides "An error has occurred. - Passkeys not supported for this app"):
Issue Tracking Info
- I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.
