1865379 - Present WebAuthn autofill entries from iCloud keychain

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

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

Description

[Bogdan Maris, Desktop Test Engineering]

Attachment: How Safari displays multiple accounts for a website

Note

• This was logged as a possible enhancement for this feature

Affected versions

• Firefox 121.0a1

Tested platforms

• Affected platforms: macOS 13.6 (probably the same on macOS 14, I don't have one at the moment)
• Unaffected platforms: Windows 10 and Ubuntu 22.04

Preconditions

• Set security.webauthn.enable_macos_passkeys to true

Steps to reproduce

1. Visit https://webauthn.io/
2. Use a few usernames to register and authenticate
3. Close Firefox
4. Start Firefox with a new and fresh profile
5. Visit https://webauthn.io/
6. Click the text field

Expected result

• In Safari there is an option to display different accounts previously saved in this website making it easy to have all your accounts with you at all times.

Actual result

• In Firefox we don't have a way to display different accounts previously saved and used on this website making it hard for users to remember what accounts they have.

Additional notes

• Not sure if we can implement something similar with what Safari has but it sure is very convenient to have displayed in the text field all the accounts for a particular website for those that use multiple accounts on a website.

This is called "Conditional Mediation" in the WebAuthn spec. We're already tracking this in Bug 1838932, but we can use this bug for the macOS-specific work that needs to be done.

I will close this bug as verified fixed based on the verification and exploratory I did on macOS 13 using a Firefox 123 build that has this patch. The remaining dependencies will be verified separately when/if they get addressed.
