Passkeys for Swift Forum access, and upgrading my auth to use it?

Site Feedback
1

Discourse now (as of Nov 2023) has support for passkeys (WebAuthn). It does not appear that the Swift Forum yet supports it.

I would like to request that it does, and hopefully also provide a way to change my login method from whatever it is now (username/password) to passkey.

Thanks!

I was able to set up my passkey without issue. But I don't see a way to remove password access to my account.

Thank you! I was also able to set up a passkey and log in using it from another device, all without issue.

I believe this is currently not supported by Discourse. It was brought up in the thread you linked to, but it's listed as a "possible future improvement".

Bah. Kinda defeats the purpose of passkeys.
