KeepassXC actually supports passkeys and can be a passkey provider in a desktop browser.

And Android 14 seems to allow changing the passkey provider in the android system as well. With that, the only thing left would be a KeepassXC-compatible app that can serve as provider on android, using the same database as the desktop.

With that setup, I'd be willing to use passkeys exclusively (my phone is still Android 13 and I don't know about app support). I already can't login anywhere (important) without access to my password manager.

Can confirm: Using Android 14 and Bitwarden, I can sign in to github.com using my passkey. It pops up a system dialog where I can select Bitwarden and then my Github username.

Last time I checked, the Bitwarden Vault export included the whole FIDO credential including the private key.

Bitwarden (and Lastpass, iirc) support passkeys a little longer than KeePassXC. I'm glad to hear they achieved full integration.

As a keepass database is used by various open source clients from different vendors, it just takes a little longer to get all this done. But I'm sure we'll get there eventually.

It's worth noting this is also supported in iOS and macOS.
