        I’m on my phone using the in-app browser, blocking ads with DNS. It works well but not quite as well as uBlock Origin would if I was using it for sure

          ah, I’ve got a habit of using an external browser. although I’ve just tried and Firefox handles in-app browsers with its custom tabs, so uBO is stil there. neat.

    Now we just need to have services using it.

    Anyone got a good overview of Do’s and Don’ts for developers? Would love to integrate it into my services

      If you’re talking about vaultwarden, that’s an unofficial project, so will take him time to map the client and add that in.

      If you’re talking about the the regular paid Bitwarden server binaries, of course it will have support.

        there is an official self hosted bitwarden server. It doesn’t support SSO, I guess time will tell if it supports this.

          It’s bare minimum, not even 2FA is working without a premium account.

          I was shocked how much more Vaultwarden is providing for free.

            I mean Bitwarden wants to make money. 10$ a year to not have to mess about with self hosting (however beneficial that might be) is a pretty good deal.

              Yeah, to each their own, half an hour of setup is something i can do myself. Centralized password safes aren’t my favorite thing.

              I just think that 2FA is such a must have feature, that it’s weird to put it behind a paywall, all that password-, file- or text-sharing or now passkeys are nice to have and should be paid.

                They probably put 2FA behind a paywall because nobody in their right mind would actually want to store 2FA and their passwords behind one account in the same storage. I suppose you can see the problem.

          The official self-hosted Bitwarden server does support SSO.

      If you’re using Vaultwarden, it’s around the corner

      https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/pull/4025

      https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/pull/3593

      Edit: It works with the testing branch of Vaultwarden and the latest Firefox addon:

      https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/releases/tag/browser-v2023.10.1

      It is not yet signed, so you should wait for it to be distributed by Firefox

    Wait, so bitwarden’s support is only a mechanism to save other systems passkey? Or is it a mechanism to originate a passkey, as an alternative to Google and friends? My conception of what is going on might be off, as well… So… Feel free to enlighten…

    Does it work with the Firefox extension on Android ?

      I’ve posted a reply to another comment with more details on my question that seemed to have disappeared. So I’m reposting it.

      Bitwarden, a popular password manager, now supports passkeys through its browser extension, with plans to extend support to its Android app in the future.

      Yes, I’ve read the article before asking the question.

      However I don’t find the answer to my question. It will work with the browser extension, not with the android app.

      What about the browser extension on Android ? It’s not the same thing as the android app.

      Especially since Firefox is trying to close the gap between mobile and desktop add-on. It’s possible that it could work, even if the extension is not as useful as the app on Android.

      That’s it.
