@whitequark @SiteRelEnby yeah... I suspect that Chrome insists on hardware backing or system level credentials management to store the passkeys, and Linux doesn't really have a working API for either.

Could DBUS to GNOME Keyring :P

@delroth there is a general API (org.freedesktop.secrets) that will work with both GNOME Keyring and KDE Wallet, but I’m not sure whether that supports storing passkeys.

@delroth @whitequark @SiteRelEnby @nsa Can you say why Linux is less supported here?

Linux doesn't have a first class authenticator API yeah. If you want to, you can buy a security key and get passkeys that don't sync. I wouldn't recommend that to most people since you have to do your own backup management but if you're a linux user maybe they're less of a footgun.

There's nothing stopping vendors from implementing their own passkey syncing solutions for linux (dashlane and 1password have implementations, maybe more out there?)
