Jdf3 Passkeys also lock you into the browser as thy are not transferable?

      Vlad Not the browser, but the ecosystem. Passkeys on Apple devices are stored on iCloud Keychain, and on Android when you transfer your apps/data to a new phone, passkeys go along with it.

      Unfortunately, passkey migration hasn't been implemented though it's being looked at.

          You just create multiple passkeys, held in each "bucket". I could have multiple passkeys for my google account stored in iCloud keychain, 1Password (when they implement it), and my Orion keychain (when/if implemented). Passkeys are an industry standard that are coming.

            Jdf3 Yes I do not worry about you, I worry about average browser user who will never create multiple passkeys.

            While it may sound like a good idea to 'lock' users into sticking with Orion it is not something we would like to do.

                I have an Apple passkey set up with GitHub...

                In Safari it's directly integrated, while in other browsers (even other operating systems) I get the option to display a QR code and approve the sign-in on my iPhone. Here's what that looks like in Arc:

                In Orion I do not get the QR-code option at all.

                As I don't have a physical security key to insert, I'm unable to sign in to GitHub at all from Orion, even though it works fine from Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Vivaldi, Brave, and Arc.

                It would be really nice if Orion supported this to the extent all other non-Safari browsers seem to.

                  Jtm Can you record a video of what this look like in chrome/firefox and what it looks like in Orion?

                      My mistake, it does not in fact work with Firefox. It does, however, work with every Chromium-based browser I've tried.

                        I would like to see this rolled out too. I changed my Google account to use a passkey and would like to be able to use that key to sign in on Orion they same way I do in Safari.

                          patrick Would you be able to export your google paskey? and you would expect to have an import feature in Orion?

                              Vlad The passkey I use in Google is in my iCloud keychain. So the ideal for me would be that Orion hooks into passkeys from iCloud keychain or 1password's. But I'd be okay with Orion having its own passkey store too.

                              From my perspective it's no big deal to have to create an Orion specific passkey for each service where I use one.

                                  Now that 1Password is officially supported, is it possible to implement this, at least for 3rd party password managers, in Orion?

                                    HELP!
                                    Somehow I was able to set up a Passkey on AWS with Orion on desktop (sorry, I didn't take screenshots), but now I cannot log in anywhere as Orion goes into an infinite loop and Chrome/Safari both do not find a Passkey on iCloud…

                                    From Safari:

                                    and

                                    So it seems like Orion has set up a Passkey but I don't know where it was stored, but it seems to have not synced on iCloud. I do use 1Password, but I don't seem to be able to find the Passkey there either…

                                    Thanks for the help…

                                      njyo Orion does not support passkeys, lets start from there.

                                          Passkeys are for convenience and not to replace passwords ryt?, I have my android devices as passkeys, and each desktop browser has it's own. I was able to create new passkeys from all chromium browsers and Safari too, so why Orion won't implement this as a feature is still puzzling to me. I'm sorry if I'm missing something, but this is what I think.

                                            +1 on this, switched from Arc because I was only using it for vertical tabs and profiles (which I later found out exist in both FF and Chrome rip), but the only thing that feels "missing" is passkey support.
