Vlad I'm not quite sure how to qualify this as I don't graps what #3025 is about any longer, as it seems it works in Orion.

The part of the problem which stays (and is not a part of a bigger "passkeys" subject per se) is that google thinks passkeys are not supported in Orion, thought it works in Safari with the same user-agent.

      I use 1password and it seems to work though.

        I can confirm google's passkey can't be made in Orion currently. Github passkey works fine.

            tl;dr the current implementation of Orion's passkeys seems to be implemented in its own way, rather than using the apple-provided native APIs, resulting in it not working consistently, and not being compatible at times.

            danrungg Great observation! Updating the 1Password extension fixed this issue for me and got passkey signin via 1Password working as expected in Orion! 🙌

              Just chiming in here, that I would love to see Orion handle passkeys like Safari does. It currently works well with 1Password when the extension is installed, but for things like Strongbox it doesn't. Safari works consistently every time.

                jmanes I agree. I also use Strongbox and this is one reason why I can’t fully switch to Orion at this point.

                  eirk This really baffles me. For one this is preventing using passkeys in the icloud keychain to sign in through Orion.

                  It really seems like Orion should use the native API rather than their own implementation. In firefox right now I can go to github, click sign in with passkey, and it uses my device passkey and signs me in immediately. I can't do that in Orion.

                      Steps to reproduce:

                      Using Orion + 1Password + GitHub passkeys doesn't work, receiving an 'Authentication failed' message on GitHub. Compatibility mode changes nothing.

                      I get the following error in Developer console:

                      A combination of Safari + 1Password works fine.

                      Able to login using a passkey to GitHub

                        rlew Is this because there is a bug in 1Password or passkeys support needs to be implemented in Orion?

                            Vlad looks to me that a Orion is missing some browser APIs, maybe webauthn

                                  Apple opened an API to allow 3rd party browsers to use passkeys stored in icloud keychain, https://developer.apple.com/documentation/authenticationservices/passkey-use-in-web-browsers

                                  Chrome is already using this, could it be implemented in orion too?

                                  When logging into a website that they already have a passkey for, stored in icloud keychain, they would be able to use it
