Passkey is getting more urgent

[hirntot]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Using Linux and /e/, I might get locked out of some accounts in the close future, just for the fact that there is no passkey support for linux/microg yet.

Describe the solution you'd like
Support for passkey. In whatever way.

From what they say, that is based on fido standards, I'd guess the difference is that instead of using an external token an internal key is used.

See implementation status and #849

I might be wrong, but it seems like google has an implementation of the api without play services https://github.com/android/identity-samples/tree/main/CredentialManager

I've contacted Bitwarden whether their Android app will have their own passkeys implementation (not based on Google Play Services), but the answer didn't sound promising... so it would be awesome to see this feature in microG!

Hey folks, any friendly update on this?

August 1, 2024 is tomorrow and app passwords are now obsolete and passkeys are already being pushed hard by Google as recommended. Is there any update on this?

Passkey isn't yet supported but now there is support for FIDO2 authenticators with a PIN so we are now less distant.

@ale5000-git thank you for the update! Do you think what's left to implement for passkey support is hard to implement? Can you share some technical details on what is left to do and relevant code? Thank you!

I haven't looked at it that much but @mar-v-in surely knows better and maybe @alex9099 too (see here: #2150).
This is probably also needed: #2463
