Passkeys not working on NixOS

[clementpoiret]

Hi,

I am using the latest glide on NixOS (using your glide.nix), and it sounds like I can't use passkeys (I have yubikey 5c), although they work OOB on other browsers (Vivaldi, and Firefox Dev Edition).

I saw the #10 discussion, but it sounds like I still have the issue

Do you have any clue?
Thanks!

When you say you can't use them, what happens? is there an error? or do the passkey options never show up?

It never shows up, websites usually tell me the browser does not support them or there have been an error. Here is what about:webauthn shows

about:webauthn works in other firefox-based browsers

Thanks, what does about:webauthn show you in Firefox? Interestingly I get this in Firefox on macOS

but Firefox Nightly shows the same "Please connect a security token" message which I believe is expected given I don't have a security key on me right now.

Additionally about:webauthn notably does not include the large "Error" text at the top for me.

Are there any console logs when you go to about:webauthn or when testing it at webauthn.io? You can see the logs in the browser toolbox, and I'd recommend checking the Multiprocess mode at the top.

On FF it shows this:

I see nothing relevant in the browser's console. The only thing I see on websites to test webauthn is NotAllowedError: The request is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context, possibly because the user denied permission.

If it can help / guide, on another FF fork installed via a flake, zen browser (https://github.com/0xc000022070/zen-browser-flake), passkeys are working.

Hi, hope you are doing well.
I just made a PR to fix the issue: glide-browser/glide.nix#5
It actually came from missing libudev in the nix package.
