Operating system specific authentication options, such as a Windows Hello Pin, were selected for authentication.The "other" device or software does not support WebAuthn yet.Bitwarden users who set the authentication feature up on a device may notice that they lock themselves out on other devices. One of the shortcomings of the standard is, that it is not available universally at the time. WebAuthn, which stands for Web Authentication, is integrated into operating systems, browsers and other programs. Write down or print the code, as it is used to gain access to Bitwarden's vault, even if the two-step login method is no longer available (e.g., device lost, PC stolen).Įarlier this month, I wrote a tutorial on enabling the upcoming security standard WebAuthn in Bitwarden as a two-step login protection.On the Two-step login Settings page, select "View recovery code".Select Read Key, and authenticate using Windows Hello or Touch ID. Use native biometric authentication, e.g., Windows Hello.If the key has a button, it needs to be touched. Plug the security key into the USB port of the device and select "Read Key".Select a name for this security key or biometric authentication option.Type the master password for confirmation.To use WebAuthn, activate the manage button next to it.There, all available two-factor authentication options are listed.Switch to Security and then the Two-step Login tab.Select the profile icon in the upper right corner and then Account Settings.Open the Bitwarden website and log in to the account.

To set up FIDO2 WebAuthn, do the following:
