Describe the bug:

When attempting to log in to VoidAuth on Firefox on Android, passkeys seem to fail. This used to work fine before. I visit the web page and press the "Passkey" button, nothing happens. If I press the button again, an error message says "Could not login with passkey." The same routine on Firefox on desktop Linux works as expected.

If I instead login with username and password, I am asked to register a passkey. Pressing "Register" opens up Bitwarden and I can register it there and it is saved, but I am then returned to VoidAuth page with a never ending loading screen. The newly created passkey does not work on desktop Linux, I then get the same error "Could not login with passkey." When logging in with username and password from desktop, I can then see that the passkey I just created on the phone did not save on VoidAuth.

To Reproduce:

Visit page, try to use passkey with Firefox on Android

Expected behavior:

It should work on the phone as it does on the computer

Database Driver:

sqlite

I have made some changes to the beta/dev release that might help figure out the issue. If you wouldn't mind switching your image (temporarily) to voidauth:edge, setting the ENABLE_DEBUG=true environment variable, trying again, and seeing if there is anything helpful in the container logs that would be very helpful 😊

This is the output I got after the change. There isn't really a difference, and there is no output when trying to log in with the passkey. The three "interaction required" lines are from logging in with password, and logging out again.

Well darn, I was hoping there would be an error of some kind in the logs. As it is, I cannot replicate the issue (I do not have an android device) so might be stuck on this. If anyone else can replicate this issue or has any ideas please comment and add to this issue

That is unfortunate. I tried to clear all appdata for Firefox, so it was reset to factory default. Tried without all my custom dns servers and blocklist shenanigans, just straight clean Firefox with internet direct from ISP. I guess there could be a bug in Firefox itself, or somewhere else in Android. Bitwarden, where I keep my passkeys, never even opens. So it could be there is no bug at all in Voidauth, I don't know... Thank you for taking the time to investigate! I will report back if anything changes!

Has anyone tested this with anything else than Bitwarden?
