Hey @rmondello.com when I only implement conditional mediation for passkeys on Safari; there doesn't seem to be a button for people to use their Security Keys . In Chrome they do give this option when pressing "Use nearby device". Is this expected? It feels like a bug.

Both Chrome and Firefox **do** allow security keys in this scenario. I'm trying to ship Passkeys at mercury.com and UX research shows that a dedicated "Sign in with Passkeys" button is confusing to users but we also want to keep support for Yubikeys for power-users. Safari is the odd one out.

Same flow on Chrome. Note that it gives me the option to either use a QR code **or** use a security key.

Firefox works too. Albeit with more clicks as they use Apple's AuthenticationServices more and we need to click through more modals to find the Security Key option.
