Feature description

Currently, when creating a Passkey on Pocket-ID using a password manager (tested with 1Password and Bitwarden) on Windows or Android, the native OS authenticator dialog (Windows Hello / Android passkey prompt) is opened directly. The password manager’s Passkey creation dialog is never shown. I've set the password managers as autofill option for passkeys in the device system settings on both windows and android.

The feature would enable Pocket-ID to detect installed password managers and offer their Passkey creation dialogs as an option, instead of always defaulting to the OS-native authenticator.

Pitch

Many users rely on password managers for storing Passkeys centrally across devices.

Supporting password managers directly improves cross-platform compatibility and consistency of the authentication experience.

Currently, Pocket-ID behaves differently than other websites that allow password managers to handle Passkeys, which limits flexibility.

Sorry about this issue, I kinda missed the /setup url in the documentation. After finishing the setup, it did actually work with the password managers.
