They are still not implemented in major browsers and operating systems (e.g. Linux Chrome), so not likely much traction.

This is a straight up lie. They've been in Linux Chrome for quite some time now.

This is a straight up lie. Here's a screenshot from my PC: https://0x0.st/8v8T.png

Not implemented.

Google documentation states in multiple places that passkeys are supported in chrome Linux via google password manager. I haven't tried myself, are you saying that is incorrect?

I was wrong and I'm sorry about it. Turned out, I disabled one setting in my Google Chrome password manager, which apparently also disabled passkey creation functionality.

For my excuse I should note, that this passkey support is relatively recent (end of 2024) and error message was really unhelpful to understand the issue. I was trying to use passkeys on my Linux computer like every few months since they started to appear on various websites and was frustrated by lack of support in Linux.

Thanks for pushing me into right direction, so at least I can now use them.
