Get a fun error message on debian 13 with firefox v140:

"This application requires passkey with PRF extension support for secure encryption key storage. Your browser or device doesn't support these advanced features.Please use Chrome 116+, Firefox 139+, or Edge 141+ on a device with platform authentication (Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello, etc.)."



That is funny it won't even show us the homepage.

We are allowed into the blog though! https://confer.to/blog/


Great new way to lock out potential new users. I bet large part of users interested in privacy are using Linux and some fork of Firefox.


In KeePassXC:

> Your authenticator doesn't support encryption keys. Please try again using 1Password — some password managers like Bitwarden don't work yet.


I'm getting that that on macOS with Firefox 139+, for whatever reason...


I was also getting this, but works today.
