Vanadium crashes when trying Passkeys with Bitwarden on Github

Aeon

The problem is most likely that I have overlooked something, missed a step or did something wrong.

Looking for troubleshooting advice.

So I setup passkey login on my github account a couple month ago on my desktop PC and use Bitwarden for storing the passkeys.

Today I got the bitwarden android update that enables passkey support on android. I have bitwarden installed from the Google Play store using the Google Play Store app.

I changed the vanadium flag setting to accept 3rd party passkey provider and enabled the passkey support in the bitwarden app and system settings of GrapheneOS.

I then started vanadium opened the github page and tried the passkey login. Vanadium closed I wondered and tried again logging into github with passkeys on Vanadium this time I got the message Vanadium crashed and I got the following log:

Aeon That's odd. Try to update your system first, as I see it's on 2024060400 and the latest stable release is 2024060500.

I'm not sure if the update will fix it, but let's see. :-)

yeah started the update manually, I have setup my updates to run when the phone is charging so I get an update sometimes a day later depending when i charge my phone.

alright I did the update and I also followed bitwardens guide again: https://bitwarden.com/help/auto-fill-android/#setup-bitwarden-for-use-with-passkeys

Vanadium still crashes.

I will create a new fresh user profile with Playstore and Bitwarden installed to see if the error persists or I just mucked something up in my settings.

I will report back later.

Aeon Undo the changes to chrome://flags. They are not needed and likely caused this issue in the first place; Vanadium has implemented the new Chromium Native Autofill early. For Vanadium, changing settings in chrome://flags is not necessary. Might be needed in other browsers but not Vanadium.

Go to Vanadium settings > Autofill Options > Use other providers: ON
Enable Bitwarden in System settings > Password & accounts
That's it.

Aeon

alright I created a completely new user profile.

when creating that profile I only added google services, bitwarden and Ente Auth to it.

I started the profile and followed this guide by bitwarden to set the passkey provider up:
https://bitwarden.com/help/auto-fill-android/#setup-bitwarden-for-use-with-passkeys

(I did the steps with chrome://flags etc...)

then I open the github webpage and tried logging in with passkey and it worked.

So I checked my main profile again in chrome.//flags what I have set the passkey provider.

I had enabled the option Enabled for 3rd party passkeys instead of Enabled for Google Password manager and 3rd party passkeys.

With the google and 3rd party passkey option it now works.

Edit: I really love having the option to quickly spin up a clean user profile with minimum effort to test stuff :-) 2nd time I did that and afterwards just deleted the profile again

oh I did not know that.

reversed the changes and it works :-) thank you very much.
