Hello. I created my IC identity just now in my smartphone because it is the device that will hold the passkey. Then I tried to sign in into my IC Identity in Brave and Firefox browsers in my laptop, but IC doesn't provide me the option to authenticate using a passkey from a device (smartphone), only with a USB security device. I believe that most of the users doesn't have a USB security device, but their smartphones, so, it is necessary to provide the option to authenticate using the passkey from a smartphone.

hi @leiniercs, you should get an option to scan a QR code with your phone (although I'm no 100% that'll use the same passkey that you created on your phone). If you don't see that option, your browser might not support it. What browser/OS are you using?

I'm using Brave browser as main browser, but for testing purposes I used Mozilla Firefox too. The results were the same for both browsers.
