Bitwarden does passkeys supposedly. Haven’t tried it myself yet because I don’t know what to make of passkeys.
Comment on Passkeys might really kill passwords
Heavybell@lemmy.world 11 months agoI already use KeePass, but as far as I know it doesn’t do passkeys, only passwords?

Currently Bitwarden’s passkey support is limited to the browser extensions not the apps but from my experience it works relatively well. When logging into a site you just select the passkey from the extension popup and it logs you in.
Example passkey registration:
- Click create a passkey button in the accounts settings page
- Bitwarden extension pops up with a list of matching accounts
- Select the account in your password manager that you want to associate the passkey with
- Click Save passkey button
- The account now has a new passkey associated with it that’s stored in your Bitwarden vault
Example login:
- Click sign in with passkey button on the login page
- Bitwarden extension pops up with a list of matching accounts from your vault
- Select the account you want to sign in with
- Click Confirm button
- You’re signed in

I haven’t seen anything about the original KeePass supporting them but KeePassXC is working on it:

I have been super hesitant to look into KeePassXC, should I give it a chance?
Of course, unless I can also access these features on my phone it doesn’t really matter…

Yeah, unfortunately passkey support on mobile outside of what the OS/browsers provide is kind of not there at the moment but it’s being worked on. Android 14 apparently has some kind of framework for integrating in third-party passkey providers. At this point, you should view passkeys as an additional, more convenient and secure way to log in on the platforms it’s supported on, not necessarily the only way to log into an account.

Pull the software down and give it a look. Set up a database with no real passwords in it just to play with the various features.

I recently switched to KeePassXC and it looks nicer and is easier to use. The also include some addon functionality into the app so you don’t need to trust that. The only downside is that it doesn’t automatically fills the browser text fields, you have to click on a green icon in the text field - but that is more secure. They also have an android app.
