> Amazon prompts me to create a passkey everytime I log in, even when I logged in with a passkey, because my passkeys live in Bitwarden rather than my OS or browser.

What setup are you using? Because I don't have that problem on Linux + Firefox at all

Linux, Mac, and Windows (i happen to use all three regularly for work, hobbies, gaming), Firefox + Bitwarden.

It's totally possible there's something specific about my situation, or the way it was set up in the first place that enables this, idk, but somebody else replied saying they have the same experience so it's not just me.

And even if it was just me, it's still clearly something wrong on the provider's implementation, because it should not be possible for software to sidetrack the user into a passkey enrollment flow, when that user logged in with a passkey to open the current session.

I will take a wild guess (based on that you are using firefox) is that you probably have enabled the various don't save cookies, clear sessions on close or other hardened privacy settings that are the source of 99% of problems firefox users encounter, like increased cloudflare captchas .

Could be! I don't recall turning things like those on, I use firefox for features not privacy, and mostly leave stuff like that at their defaults, which I trust Mozilla + uBlock to filter the invasive trackers while leaving actually useful functionality, but it's possible I fiddled with it years ago and forgot.

Some probably kinda strong counterevidence to that though is that this doesn't happen on all sites, only Amazon. I've never been prompted to make a new passkey after passkey login on the 12 other sites that I have passkeys in bitwarden for.
