Bitwarden adds support for passkey login on Windows 11

Bitwarden now lets users sign into Windows 11 with passkeys stored in the manager’s encrypted vault, enabling phishing‑resistant passwordless authentication. The feature is available on all plans and requires Entra ID–joined devices, FIDO2 security key sign‑in enabled, and a registered Entra ID passkey in the Bitwarden vault, with Bitwarden acting as the passkey provider to allow cross‑device recovery and reduce credential exposure. #Bitwarden #Windows11 #EntraID #FIDO2
