All lesser known browsers can't use passkeys #4620

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Use any non mainstream browser
  2. Be unable to use passkeys since the browser "isn't privileged"

Expected Result

Passkeys work, regardless of Google's or your blessing of the browser.

Actual Result

"Passkey operation failed because browser isn't privileged"

Screenshots or Videos

No response

Additional Context

I shouldn't have to double check if my password manager supports X feature in Y browser before using it. Almost every browser is chromium based, with a handful being Firefox based, so there's no real reason for random browsers to be unable to use passkeys (which wholeheartedly defeats the purpose of having passkeys in the first place!)

Build Version

version 2025.1.0 com.x8bit.bitwarden

What server are you connecting to?

N/A

Self-host Server Version

No response

Environment Details

Pixel running android 15, issue reproducible on any non major browser (i.e., anything besides edge, chrome, Firefox, brave, etc that is either newer or has a smaller user base)

Issue Tracking Info

  • I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.

Thanks @androidacy-user, we are aware of this and we maintain a community list to allow lesser known but vetted browsers: https://github.com/bitwarden/android/blob/main/app/src/main/assets/fido2_privileged_community.json

Once you make a PR, adding a browser there, it would be included in the next release.

We are however looking into improving this even further, is that something you would be interested in?
