New Nighly updates remove support for third-party passkeys (feature broken) #38345

Until a few days or weeks ago, I could enable a flag to have support for third-party passkeys app, such as Proton Pass. (See Proton Pass : how to use passkeys

However this flag is now gone and I therefore can't use passkeys on Brave. Only a pop-up shows with the option to use a physical key or scan a QR code.

My version is 1.68.11 and I have Android 14 (Samsung) Edit: Works fine on Stable version (1.65.132)

Also on the Beta release version

I had to enable the "Temporarily unexpire M124 flags" flag before it allowed me to access the third-party passkey flag again.

yschimke commented 5 months ago

That enables the flag for me, but it's still not finding passkeys once I enable 3rd party password managers.

It isn't normal that you have to do this, Brave doesn't seem commited to Passkeys and online safety...

That enables the flag for me, but it's still not finding passkeys once I enable 3rd party password managers.

I had to disable and re-enable my password manager (1Password) under Settings -> Passwords & accounts -> Passwords, passkeys, and data services

I'm guessing this re-enrolls something under the hood with Android

Thanks, that fixed it for me

I am also having this issue. Everytime I ask Stripe to set up a passkey for me, I get the QR code displayed by brave. But 1password is supposed to prompt to offer to save the passkey instead.

I have tried:

Enabling the "Unexpire M124" flag (this doesn't reveal anything about passkey in the flags list as described here.
Disabling and re-enabling the 1password extension
Disabling and re-enabling all the passkey and password manager options in normal Brave settings.

I still get a QR code that pops up but not a way to save it in my 3rd party password manager.

@blanchardjeremy are you doing this on Android or the Desktop Browser? I think the original issue is with Android, where Brave is supposed to use the google passkey API to talk to the 1Passoword Android app, there is no browser extension involved

I ended up realizing that what I was encountering was user error. 😬
