Should I get the offer to create a passkey in Proton when trying to log into a site like Amazon's that supports passkeys?
Free tier of Proton Pass. The background is: I am currently testing the product before committing to a subscription. My goal is to replace all services I currently use with Proton's, long-term.
Environment:
- OS: Windows 10
- Browser: Google Chrome
- Proton Pass: Chrome plugin
- The Proton database was created by importing all password information from LastPass.
- (Not sure if I understand the storage of passkeys right; therefore, I add this additional information.) When I logged into Amazon in the past, I was offered to use my passkey, and that worked just fine. This past passkey was created while using Chrome on Windows 10 with the LastPass plugin. The offer to use the passkey stored on Google is new, following the switch from LastPass to Proton Pass.
- https://proton.me/support/pass-use-passkeys tells me: "Proton Pass will prompt you to save the passkey through a pop-up in the top right of your screen. Click on Save passkey." No, it does not. No pop-up appears, neither in the top right nor anywhere else.
- Windows 10 Settings -> Display -> Make Everything Bigger is set to 150%. (I only mention this as I experienced in some full-screen applications that this can throw off the correct placement of UI elements if the application is not programmed to consider this configuration setting.)
My question is: Should I get an offer to create a passkey (to be stored in Proton) when trying to log into a site that supports passkeys? Are the instructions at https://proton.me/support/pass-use-passkeys not up to date, maybe?
What currently happens: Amazon does not offer to create a new passkey when I try to log in. What does happen, though, is that Chrome displays the option to use a Google passkey. Is this automatic response maybe blocking the offer to create a new passkey for Proton Pass?
I am sorry if I seem confused, but that is what I am. ;)
