Using passkeys without storing passwords

Where possible I prefer to sign in using a passkey (stored on a USB key). I use a password manager for the rest, and have thus disabled password saving inside Firefox.

However, when password saving is disabled, Firefox will not prompt for using a passkey when inside a login field, this works when I re-enable password saving, but that leads to other annoyances.

Is there a way to enable passkey the passkey option without also enabling the password saving?

That's not something Firefox browser can't do. Firefox browser has it's own password manager to save logins. Anything beyond this is up to whatever software your using to login to provide support on to use.

I don't understand what you're saying. Firefox clearly has support for passkeys, but it will not offer to use them when selecting the login field unless password saving is enabled. Do you mean that this is something that "my login software" should support?

It would make more sense to me that disabling the offering of passkeys would be a separate option in the preferences.

mozilla677, if you right-click in either a username or password field, do any useful options appear in the context menu?

Nope, there is an entry to "Manage Passwords", which is strange since password storing is disabled in Firefox. That doesn't help, because - as expected - there are no stored passwords.
