Passkeysare the new passwordless technology governed by the FIDO Alliance, who sets the technological standards.
The use of passkeys to lock Bitwarden vaults is currently in beta.
FIDO2-compliantsecurity keyscan also be used.
Deriving this key from a master password works since the password never changes.
This is where the Pseudo Random Function (PRF) WebAuthn extension comes in.
It allows an encryption key to be taken from a passkey as it relates to a particular site.
Other Bitwarden clients, such as the mobile apps, will get the feature in future releases.
