3rd party passkey provider support is possible on Android if:

- You are using Android 14

- Your manufacturer has added support for it (e. g. Oppo and OnePlus still haven't)

- If you want to use them in chrome, you need to enable the experimental feature at chrome://flags , search for "passkeys" and enable the feature for 3rd party (for brave just replace "chrome" with "brave"

Even with that, support may still be a bit buggy, such as:

- Chrome displaying the "Google Password Manager" logo instead of your password manager's one

- The app/website not understanding properly how to implement them and sending wrong values / sometimes invalid payloads

But let's hope this technology gains massive adoption, proper support and can help non-technical users benefit from increased security at (almost) no cost.
