It's been a very seamless experience with Bitwarden. Pretty much "click passkey, now logged in".
I mean when I was trying to set one up. I wasn't ever prompted to use a password manager. It just said to plug my phone into my computer. I did. And it didn't detect anything. With user experience in setup that poor I don't trust them yet.
I don't know what to tell you. Multiple sites and services asked if I wanted to set up a passkey, every time I got prompted to plug my phone in via USB, and nothing happened when I did. At no point in the process did it give me a QR code or ask me if I wanted to set one up through a password manager instead of a phone. I didn't do anything special or incorrect. I followed the normal prompts they gave me.
