To turn passkeys on, see Save and use passkeys.
In the browser extension
While Use Bramble for passkeys is on, Bramble answers every passkey prompt in that browser. Your browser doesn’t offer security keys, passkeys saved in the browser, or signing in with your phone. Turn it off to use those.
In Chrome and other Chromium browsers, only one extension can handle passkeys. If another one already does, Use Bramble for passkeys turns itself back off and shows an error. Turn off passkeys in the other extension, then try again.
In Firefox, passkey suggestions in a site’s username field come from Firefox, not Bramble. Use the site’s passkey sign-in button instead.
Safari on a Mac
Bramble has no Safari extension, so Safari on a Mac can’t use Bramble passkeys. Use Chrome, Firefox or another Chromium browser with the Bramble extension instead.
On iPhone, Safari works through iOS AutoFill. See Set up AutoFill on iPhone.
The desktop app
The desktop app can’t create passkeys or sign in with them. Passkeys you save elsewhere still sync to it and show on your logins.
Android
Passkeys need Android 14 or later, and Bramble turned on as a passkey provider. Two things can still stop them.
The browser never asks Bramble
On phones without Google Play services, such as GrapheneOS, some Chromium-based browsers, such as Brave and Vivaldi, don’t currently pass passkey requests to Android’s passkey managers. Bramble never sees the request. Vanadium works.
The site says the request timed out or was cancelled
Bramble reads the site’s address only from browsers on its built-in list. It’s the same list autofill uses: see Browsers that match the site. To ask for another browser, email [email protected].
Touch ID in other Firefox-based browsers
Adding Touch ID under Tap to unlock may fail in some Firefox-based browsers on a Mac, such as LibreWolf, with “Registration was cancelled or timed out. Please try again.”
This is about unlocking Bramble, not your website passkeys. In those browsers, unlock with your master password, or use Touch ID in Firefox or a Chromium browser. See Ways to unlock your vault.
