GitHub announced today the introduction of passwordless authentication support in public beta, allowing users to upgrade from security keys to passkeys.
Firefox does support Passkeys - it’s just incomplete - specifically some of the major key storage locations aren’t supported yet (and it depends what operating system you’re running Firefox on, since every OS has different options for secure key storage).
