Passkey sync, and fallback

[Cootshk]

Extended passkey support in Firefox  

1. You can save a passkey to your device, not just as a physical key

2. Passkeys sync between devices just like passwords do

3. If there is no passkey saved to Firefox for a website, fallback to one saved in your iCloud keychain (MacOS)

iCloud passkeys in Safari:

iCloud passkeys in Chrome:

Passkeys in Firefox (currently):

Agree. Synchronizing Passkeys with Firefox should work across different operating systems as seamless as it does with passwords. When using mixed environments of Windows, Android, Linux, iOS, etc., then saving passkeys in the individual OS-specific environment creates a problem as these cannot be synchronized across devices with Firefox.

Syncing Passkeys is essential.
I would never use Passkeys if they are only stored an a single device (Threat of loss, damage...).
The integration using the OS-Eviroment is unsatisfying, because of the lack of using it on other devices/OS.
Please integrate it native in "Firefox Password Manager" to have it synced all over my devices (Android, Windows...).
Thanks for your work!

Very good. Competitors just have implemented that: Google Passwort Manager, Samsung Pass, Keeper, 1Password, also see https://support.google.com/android/answer/14124480?hl=en

With Firefox 128, and Android 14+, there is reportedly support for Passkey synchronization with password managers other than Google Password Manager:

This is great! However, I use Firefox for managing my passwords. This also works great for signing in with traditional passwords (like G-board support in other apps on Android). However, it seems that Firefox does not yet store and synchronize PassKeys like it synchronizes passwords with other devices if I have Firefox as my password manager.

I am wondering if I am the only one, or if this is not yet supported within Firefox' own password management.
