1792433 - (passkeys) Implement support for synced application credentials (passkeys)

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Web Authentication, enhancement, P1)

Description

[Dirkjan Ochtman (:djc)]

I suppose this might be part of WebAuthentication level 3? While I'm aware that passkeys is the Apple marketing name, I was unable to find an existing issue in the tracker referring to this feature.

Google appears to be using the passkey terminology as well: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2022/10/bringing-passkeys-to-android-and-chrome.html

This would really improve my security on the internet. I hope it'll be delivered soon.

Synchronization from one Firefox to another on a different platform through Firefox Accounts?
Create a passkey on Firefox Android and use it with Firefox on Windows?

For macOS specifically, Apple has a restricted entitlement that grants full access to the system AuthenticationServices framework, which includes both physical security keys and passkeys via iCloud Keychain. There's some information and a link to apply for the entitlement at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com_apple_developer_web-browser_public-key-credential.
