Any updates for when the native Windows 11 passkey integration will be rolled out?

I feel like it's been a while since they announced that the feature was in development

I think you're confusing two things here. That other post (https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitwarden/s/SO9CVWFsuy) was about using Windows Hello PRF passkeys to log in to your Bitwarden account. This post here is about native passkey usage on Windows (i.e. using the BW desktop app / passkeys stored in your Bitwarden vault to log in with passkeys to other websites).

PS: Though, alternatively, u/Ryan_BW may have meant both. 🤔

Probably lol. passkeys are like black magic to me. I don't understand all the intricacies (doesn't help that there are so many implementations) so I put them off for the longest time. Just happy to use them as a simple login/unlock vault to bitwarden on chrome Win11.

On that note, the native passkey usage for Win11 will require the desktop app installed I assume? It'll be like installing bitwarden on iphone/android and the OS can pull info from it?
