https://webauthn.io/ not working on linux desktop

Steps:

Open web site
Advanced settings -> Reset settings
Type a username, e.g. asasas
Click the Register button

Expected to be able to create a token on the device.

With Firefox on Android 14 it works just fine and I can choose out of 4 options for the security key (I select the screen lock option)
With Firefox on Linux, I get an alert saying "The request is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context, possibly because the user denied permission." even if under about:config webauthn_enable_softtoken is true
With Chromium on Linux, I get a QR code which I read with my Android 14 mobile phone. There I see 'Use Passkey' but Google Lens freezes and I cannot go any further.

Hello @protono unfortunately these are issues with the OS and or browser. There's nothing to be done on webauthn.io itself to help solve these issues. The site does some basic feature detection on page load to try and understand if WebAuthn appears available for use. If the site thinks it can work then it lets you interact with it. After that it's on the OS and browser to support WebAuthn properly.
