But passkeys are not supported natively (i.e. without a USB key or other shenanigans) by Firefox on Linux, as there is no place to store them. I do have a USB key, but it's annoying enough that I don't like passkeys if I can avoid them (instead using long randomly-generated passwords by Firefox's builtin-in password manager).

Maybe Lennart needs to write systemd-passkeyd .

I admit this is a gap, but this use case is a rounding error at the scale of users and daily logins. If someone wants to fix this, drop a link to sponsor the time and tokens needed to enable native support. Does a Yubikey or secure authenticator work for your use cases currently?

Yes, a yubikey works for when I really need it, but it's enough friction to take out out and plug in that it's just annoying enough.

I'll talk to some industry folks and see what we can do.
