Hi Firefox Support Team, I am writing regarding the Passkey (WebAuthn) implementation in Firefox on Windows.I store my passkeys in Proton Pass (used both as a Firefox browser extension and on my mobile device). In other browsers like Chrome, authenticating via Passkey works seamlessly—either directly via the Proton Pass browser extension popup or by scanning a QR code with my mobile phone.However, in Firefox on PC, triggering a passkey sign-in immediately opens the native Windows Security prompt asking to "Insert a physical security key" (USB FIDO2). There is no option to route the passkey request to the active browser extension (Proton Pass) nor to authenticate via a QR code using a mobile device. Could you please clarify:
Is native support for third-party passkey manager extensions (like Proton Pass) currently being implemented for Firefox on desktop? Are there plans to support Cross-Device WebAuthn authentication (scanning a QR code to use passkeys stored on a mobile phone)?
Thank you for your time and continued work on Firefox.Best regards,Josef Kohutka
