Bitwarden adds support for passkey login on Windows 11
BleepingComputer • • technology
Key Points:
- Bitwarden has introduced support for logging into Windows 11 devices using passkeys stored in its encrypted vault, enabling phishing-resistant, passwordless authentication across all plans, including the free tier.
- Users can log in by selecting the security key option on Windows and scanning a QR code with a mobile device to confirm access to the passkey stored in Bitwarden, which acts as the passkey provider in the authentication flow.
- The feature requires Entra ID–joined devices, enabled FIDO2 security key sign-in, and a registered Entra ID passkey stored in the Bitwarden vault, allowing users to recover credentials across devices if needed.
- This method enhances security by replacing password entry with cryptographic challenges signed by private keys stored
