The Browser page draws a page that runs on the environment, so this device's paste menu and AutoFill never reach its fields: a login needs the password typed by hand. - While a page field has the keyboard, a clipboard button sits above it. Its menu pastes this device's clipboard into the field, copies the page selection back (Cmd+C, which the server already runs as the copy command), or fills a saved password. - Fill password opens a card whose username and password fields take iOS Password AutoFill (or Android's autofill service). Fill sends one fillLogin message: the server types the password straight into a focused password field; otherwise it types the username, presses Tab, and types the password only if Tab reached a password field, so a password never lands in a field that would show it. A server without fillLogin ignores the message. - The viewer script reports when its input gains or loses focus, so the button only shows while typing into the page. A page copy that reaches this device now gives haptic feedback, like the app's other copies. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- The fill card shows the page's site, and fillLogin carries that origin. The server fills only while the page's own URL is on that origin, and never into a field inside a cross-origin frame. - A paste whose clipboard read finishes after the tab changed is dropped instead of reaching the new tab. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…y sheet The server's headless browser has no authenticator, so a page's passkey sign-in or sign-up has nowhere to go. - Server browser pages get a WebAuthn bridge, modeled on the desktop's preview bridge: create() and get() go to the server, which checks the page's real origin (top-level, https or loopback), the RP ID (no public suffixes), a recent touch from the controlling viewer, and one request at a time, then forwards the request to that viewer. The device's answer must carry this page's origin, challenge and RP ID hash before the page sees it. Conditional requests stay native. - With no passkey-capable viewer in control, pages keep Chromium's own WebAuthn, and isUserVerifyingPlatformAuthenticatorAvailable() stays native unless such a viewer is watching the tab. - iOS: a T3Passkeys module answers with AuthenticationServices' browser requests (client data with the page's origin, iOS 17.4+), offering device passkeys and security keys. - iOS allows that for any site only with Apple's managed default-browser entitlement, so it stays off unless the build sets T3CODE_IOS_BROWSER_PASSKEYS=1 (README covers the Apple request). - Viewers offer passkeys with a passkeys=true stream parameter; only viewers that may operate the page keep it.

A pending native passkey ceremony keeps running after this WebView fails or unmounts, so the user can still be prompted to authenticate or create a credential after its page has lost the ability to receive the result. fail() blocks later passkeyCancel messages, and unmount cleanup only stops the document; track the pending request and call cancelBrowserPasskey from both paths.

🌐 Web query:
Apple AuthenticationServices ASAuthorizationSecurityKeyPublicKeyCredentialAssertion userID nullable non-discoverable credential official documentation
💡 Result:
**Short answer:** Apple’s docs make `userID` **nullable at the Swift API level**, but don’t document whether it will be `nil` for a non-discoverable security-key credential.
`ASAuthorizationSecurityKeyPublicKeyCredentialAssertion` conforms to `ASAuthorizationPublicKeyCredentialAssertion`, whose `userID` property is shown as `Data!`—an implicitly unwrapped optional. Apple describes it only as “a user identifier for the assertion”; it marks the property required, but doesn’t specify its value for non-discoverable credentials. ([developer.apple.com](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/authenticationservices/asauthorizationsecuritykeypublickeycredentialassertion?utm_source=openai))
So, handle `userID` as potentially absent in Swift. The official documentation does **not** establish that non-discoverable credentials specifically cause it to be `nil`; that behavior remains unresolved in Apple’s docs. The Objective-C declaration displays `NSData *` without a nullability annotation, which also doesn’t settle that case. ([developer.apple.com](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/authenticationservices/asauthorizationpublickeycredentialassertion/userid?changes=_1&language=objc&utm_source=openai))

🌐 Web query:
W3C WebAuthn specification assertion response userHandle optional non-discoverable credential
💡 Result:
**Yes.** Under the W3C WebAuthn Level 3 specification, `AuthenticatorAssertionResponse.userHandle` is nullable. If `allowCredentials` is non-empty—as is typically required to use a non-discoverable credential—the authenticator **may** return a user handle, so the response may contain `null`. If `allowCredentials` is empty, the spec says the authenticator **must** return one. ([w3.org](https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn-3/?trk=article-ssr-frontend-pulse_little-text-block))
The spec also says non-discoverable credentials are used by providing their credential IDs in `allowCredentials`; discoverable credentials, by contrast, must return the user handle in an assertion started with an empty `allowCredentials` list. ([w3.org](https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn-3/?trk=article-ssr-frontend-pulse_little-text-block))
So, for a non-discoverable credential, don’t rely on `userHandle` being present; identify the account using the credential ID.

- 2: https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn-3/?trk=article-ssr-frontend-pulse_little-text-block
Omit userHandle when assertion.userID is nil.
A non-discoverable credential can return no user handle when allowCredentials is non-empty. The security-key branch force-unwraps assertion.userID while building the result, which can crash before finish runs. The server accepts an omitted userHandle.

Cancel the pending passkey request when the main frame navigates.
tab.passkey is cleared in only four cases: control changes, the tab drops, the page script sends abort, or the timeout fires. A main-frame navigation does not clear it. The PreviewStreamEvents.onPasskeyCancel contract says the request also ends when the page "navigated".
Example trigger: the page calls navigator.credentials.get(), and then the user reloads or the page redirects. The old document is gone, but the following still happens:
- The phone's system sheet stays open for up to
timeoutMs, which can be 10 minutes. - Every passkey request from the new document gets
NotAllowedError, becausetab.passkey !== nullat Line 1201. playwright'spage.mainFrame()returns the sameFrameobject after navigation, and the new document restartsticketsat 1. A new document can therefore abort the old request by coincidence. The new document can also fail to abort the request it actually made.
Cancel the request in the existing main-frame navigation request handler in createTab. That handler fires only for document navigations, so a same-document pushState cannot cancel it.
🐛 Proposed fix
page.on("request", (request) => {
if (!isMainNavigation(request)) return;
navigationGenerations.set(request, ++tab.navigationGeneration);
clearAbortedNavigation(tab);

Stacked on #17485 (paste, copy and password fill on the Browser page). Its two commits come first here; this PR is the last commit, 9306f3f.
Problem
A page in the server browser can't use passkeys. Headless Chromium has no authenticator, so a site's "Sign in with a passkey" (or "Create a passkey") goes nowhere, even when the person controlling the page from the Browser page on their iPhone has that passkey on the phone.
Change
The page's WebAuthn requests travel to the controlling viewer's device, which answers them with its own passkey sheet. This follows the in-app browser passkeys from #16952, with the phone as the platform backend.
Server (
apps/server/src/preview/ServerBrowserPasskeys.ts, wired intoServerBrowser.ts)PasskeyBridge.create()andget()go to a binding; conditional requests (autofill, automatic upgrades) stay native.tldts, as the desktop uses).passkeystream message. It is cancelled withpasskeyCancelwhen control moves, the viewer leaves, the page aborts, or the timeout passes.getPublicKey()(SPKI) andgetPublicKeyAlgorithm(), as Chromium would.isUserVerifyingPlatformAuthenticatorAvailable()andgetClientCapabilities()report a platform authenticator only while such a viewer is attached to the tab, so other server-browser users see no change.Protocol (
packages/client-runtime)passkeys=trueon its stream URL; the server keeps it only for viewers that may operate the page.passkeyandpasskeyCancelfrom the server, and thepasskeyResultinput back.iOS (
apps/mobile/modules/t3-passkeys)T3Passkeysruns the request through AuthenticationServices' browser requests (ASPublicKeyCredentialClientDatawith the page's origin, iOS 17.4+). It offers device passkeys (iCloud Keychain and password managers) and security keys in one sheet, as Safari does.Apple entitlement, off by default
On iOS, AuthenticationServices serves an app for any relying party only if the app holds Apple's managed default-browser entitlement,
com.apple.developer.web-browser. The browser passkey entitlement #16952 uses on macOS (com.apple.developer.web-browser.public-key-credential) is listed for macOS and Mac Catalyst only.T3CODE_IOS_BROWSER_PASSKEYS=1adds the entitlement plus an Info.plist marker, and only that build offers passkeys.apps/mobile/README.mddocuments the request. It is also a product decision: Apple's criteria make T3 Code a default-browser choice (http/httpsURL schemes, a URL field on launch), and iOS ignores an entitled app's own Universal Links.Scope and approval
There is no triaged issue or discussion for this. It applies #16952's design and safety rules to the server browser, so a phone-controlled page gets the same passkey support the desktop's in-app browser has. It stays dormant until the Apple step above, which needs a maintainer decision. Happy to move it to a discussion if the direction needs one.
