Problem
When attempting a passkey login in the guest's Chromium browser, the browser offers a security key but does not offer the phone/QR-code method. The same user reports that phone/QR passkey login was available on a full Omarchy installation.
Could Try Omarchy support cross-device passkey authentication, or document the limitation and supported alternatives?
Environment
- Apple Silicon Mac, macOS 26.6.2
- Installed from the official
v0.3.0 release DMG; the app bundle reports CFBundleShortVersionString=0.4.0
- ARM64 guest,
try-omarchy-runtime 4.0.2-1
- Chromium
152.0.7977.75-1
Observed behavior
- Open a website's passkey sign-in flow in guest Chromium.
- The user is offered a security key, without the phone/QR option they expected.
The website and complete authentication dialog have not yet been captured, so this is not a claim that every site's passkey flow behaves identically.
Read-only checks inside the running guest found:
/sys/class/bluetooth: directory absent
systemctl is-active bluetooth.service: inactive
pacman -Q bluez bluez-utils: neither package installed
Suspected limitation / request
FIDO cross-device passkey authentication uses Bluetooth Low Energy to verify proximity to the phone: https://fidoalliance.org/passkeys/
The missing guest Bluetooth access appears to be a likely blocker, but we have not independently traced Chromium's decision to omit the QR option. Installing BlueZ alone would not provide a Bluetooth controller.
Is there a supported Bluetooth passthrough or host-assisted WebAuthn path? If not, please consider this a feature request and document the current phone/QR passkey limitation.
