Firefox on Android now supports Passkeys with 3rd-party password manager integration!

I just got the update on my phone on Google play, Firefox now supports 3rd party password managers for passkeys (on android 14+). Just tried it, and I got prompted with my 3rd party password manager, so it works!

Got this update but it doesn't seem to work for me with bitwarden, what password manager do you use?
- There seems to be a specific problem with registering passkeys, but logging in should work fine if you have already registered a passkey for a site. Not sure if this is the case with all password managers, or just Bitwarden.
- Proton Pass
Pass keys has so many issues that they still haven't figured out. Unless it attains a bit of maturity I will not use it.
- I really like them as a more secure way of logging in, its basically what authentication should have been all along (and weve been doing it all along, with SSH keys!). Its about time we take that private/public key concept and apply it to user accounts
  
  main issue for me is that i didn't see any way to invalidate old passkeys. I tried them in a few websites like ebay but it looks like they are valid forever so if my device is compromised, the attacker has access to my account in perpetuity even if i change the password
KeepassXC... I don't want anything else.
Which version of the app is this? I assume the update isn't available in my region yet or something
- 128.0.1, in Canada, you also need android 14+
  
  Odd, I'm probably looking in the wrong place. I'll look into it more, thanks :)
