All lesser known browsers can't use passkeys

[androidacy-user]

Steps To Reproduce

1. Use any non mainstream browser
2. Be unable to use passkeys since the browser "isn't privileged"

Expected Result

Passkeys work, regardless of Google's or your blessing of the browser.

Actual Result

"Passkey operation failed because browser isn't privileged"

No response

Additional Context

I shouldn't have to double check if my password manager supports X feature in Y browser before using it. Almost every browser is chromium based, with a handful being Firefox based, so there's no real reason for random browsers to be unable to use passkeys (which wholeheartedly defeats the purpose of having passkeys in the first place!)

Issue Tracking Info

• I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.

Thanks @androidacy-user, we are aware of this and we maintain a community list to allow lesser known but vetted browsers: https://github.com/bitwarden/android/blob/main/app/src/main/assets/fido2_privileged_community.json

Once you make a PR, adding a browser there, it would be included in the next release.

We are however looking into improving this even further, is that something you would be interested in?

If you list them, I can get them added.

[androidacy-user]

then why is a browser in that list not working (quetta)? do you genuinely think it's reasonable for user(s) to have to validate against a list (that is linked nowhere in the app!) before they switch browsers?

or do you think it's pretty reasonable to have my password manager (that I use to make my life easier, not harder) to at least allow me to "trust" a browser, so that my logins "just work", instead? (not even going to mention non whitelisted browsers aren't even detected as browsers, and bitwarden tries to fill logins for the app instead of the website).

idk what the perfect solution is but this is not it
