An emerging step to improve ssecurity is the use of passkeys, see https://fidoalliance.org/passkeys/ kwalletmanager should support loging with passkeys as well as exchanging them via import/export in an encrypted way. OBSERVED RESULT * Currently there is no passkey support in kwallet at all. EXPECTED RESULT * Support of passkeys should be possible. Thus using KDE with passkeys is as simple as using passkeys on Android.

I understand that this bug report is 2 years old, but I too use a YubiKey with FIDO2 passkeys to login to SDDM on OpenMandriva. FIDO2 passkey support would be a much welcomed addition to Kwallet. Thank you in advance, Wilson
I have observed that I cannot use my Nitrokey with Konqueror (since no prompt appears), but I can use it with Firefox, Ungoogled Chromium, etc. I am unsure if this limitation exists because Kwallet also does not support it, or if Konqueror would implement support for external keys independently (in which case, I would presumably need to open a new report)? Happy to do so if that is the case. The Australian Government says "applications on devices running Linux support the use of passkeys to various degrees"(1) and I suspect kwalletmanager and konqueror's lack of support might be the reason. 1.
