There is now an issue about this on Android issue tracker, looks like it’s also happening on other phones too:

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/349310440

I’m surprised that this is actually something that OEM can turn off. It shouldn’t be, or does passkey require any new piece of hardware that older phones don’t have?

I’ve cleared my play services cache, google chrome sync just to find out that this is Nothing OS/Android issue. When we will get a timeline on fix for this?

Hey guys,

Anyone knows or can shed some light as to whether Nothing Phones will get Passkey functionality? Asking from a Nothing Phone 2a specifically.

Cheers!

Merged 1 post from Passkey for Nothing OS? .

Can someone who got the 2.6 OS update confirm that the Additional Provider option is solved?

So i don’t have to chase an OTA APK because Sweden always seem to be the last in line for the staggered updates.

    Oh well i guess “Please be advised that this issue is already sorted and will be resolved at the next software update. We hope that you understand.” was a lie to get rid of me or 2.6 was actually not the “next software update”.

    A little disappointed but not at all surprised. 😜

    EDIT: Reply from support, Android 15 is the “next software update” they referred to so i guess we have to wait until NOS 3.0 or venture out in the Beta world.

    of course it is… I’m very disappointed in how Nothing has handled this tbh

    Android 14 supports using passkeys from password managers other than Google Password Manager, yet Nothing OS 2.5/2.6 removes this support and instead has the Android 13 password & autofill system. for example, when trying to sign in to AWS using my passkey stored in BitWarden, Nothing OS prompts Google Password Manager but does not present the option for BitWarden. when will Nothing OS have this Android 14 feature?

    Multi device passkeys don’t work for me. Can’t login in Windows 11 using passkeys on Phone.

    Nothing Phone 2a, using OS 2.6

      AmithM Wait for NothingOS 3.0 which should have better passkeys support.

        Security is the only thing I’m not okay trading off for a phone that objectively is just a bad Android phone with beautiful design.

        Very disappointed about Nothing, it seems that Carl was not the one responsible for the good days of OnePlus after all.

        Because the software is so bad on nothing that’s just ridiculous, materials are cheap, and camera not that great…

          Anonymous297 I see it exactly the same way. There are so many electronics stores. Thousands of videos to watch. Price/performance is top notch. Unfortunately, the camera is the weakest point for me.

              -m1- i mean they try phones in offline market first and then buy , thousands of reviews are there too.

                Hi,

                I am facing issues in setting up passkey from Microsoft authenticator app, The option to set up authenticator as passkey is not available.

                Any thoughts on this folks ??
