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 into ServerBrowser.ts)

  • Every server-browser page gets a WebAuthn bridge, a self-contained init script modeled on the desktop's PasskeyBridge. create() and get() go to a binding; conditional requests (autofill, automatic upgrades) stay native.
  • The server applies the checks a browser owes the relying party:
    • The origin comes from the frame Chromium reports, never from the page, and only a top-level https (or loopback http) page may ask.
    • The RP ID must be the host or a registrable parent of it, never a public suffix (tldts, as the desktop uses).
    • The controlling viewer must have touched the page within 10 seconds, and only one request runs per tab.
  • The request goes only to the controlling viewer, as a passkey stream message. It is cancelled with passkeyCancel when control moves, the viewer leaves, the page aborts, or the timeout passes.
  • The device's answer reaches the page only if its client data names this page's origin, challenge and ceremony type, its authenticator data starts with the RP ID's hash, and (for sign-in) the credential is one the page allowed.
  • For a registration, the server reads the attested credential from the attestation object and gives the page getPublicKey() (SPKI) and getPublicKeyAlgorithm(), as Chromium would.
  • With no passkey-capable viewer in control, pages keep Chromium's own WebAuthn. isUserVerifyingPlatformAuthenticatorAvailable() and getClientCapabilities() 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)

  • A viewer offers passkeys with passkeys=true on its stream URL; the server keeps it only for viewers that may operate the page.
  • New messages: passkey and passkeyCancel from the server, and the passkeyResult input back.

iOS (apps/mobile/modules/t3-passkeys)

  • T3Passkeys runs the request through AuthenticationServices' browser requests (ASPublicKeyCredentialClientData with 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.
  • Android lets an app answer for another site's origin only as a privileged browser, so Android viewers don't offer passkeys.

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=1 adds the entitlement plus an Info.plist marker, and only that build offers passkeys.
  • A profile without the entitlement can't sign the build, so it stays off until Apple grants it. Until then the app behaves exactly as today.
  • apps/mobile/README.md documents the request. It is also a product decision: Apple's criteria make T3 Code a default-browser choice (http/https URL 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.

Verification

Automated:

  • ServerBrowserPasskeys.test.ts (new), 11 passed:
    • origin and RP ID rules (public suffixes, lookalike hosts);
    • option checks;
    • an answer signed for another origin, challenge, ceremony or RP ID is refused;
    • the device's error names pass through;
    • a registration's public key from a real P-256 key matches Node's SPKI export.
  • ServerBrowser.test.ts, 43 passed, 4 new:
    • a request reaches the controlling viewer and its answer reaches the page;
    • without a passkey viewer the page stays native;
    • only a secure top-level page asks;
    • releasing control cancels on the device and refuses the page.
  • ServerBrowserStream.test.ts: passkeys are kept only for viewers that may operate.
  • client-runtime serverBrowserStream.test.ts, 8 passed, 1 new.
  • Typecheck passes for client-runtime, server, mobile, web and desktop. Format is clean, and lint only shows the unused FILL_PREVIEW_VIEWPORT import already on main.
  • ServerBrowserPage.test.ts can't launch Chromium on my Linux box, the same as on main.

Real Chromium: a throwaway script (not committed) loaded PASSKEY_SCRIPT into chrome-headless-shell 154 through Playwright, standing in for the server and the phone with real P-256 keys:

  • create() returned a PublicKeyCredential / AuthenticatorAttestationResponse. getPublicKey() imported into WebCrypto as ECDSA P-256, and credProps.rk was true.
  • get() returned an assertion whose signature verified in the page with that key.
  • A refusal surfaced as NotAllowedError, and an abort as AbortError with the server told.
  • A conditional request never reached the bridge.
  • With no device, a CDP virtual authenticator answered natively.
  • An insecure page was untouched.

iOS:

  • T3PasskeysModule.swift type-checks against the iOS 27.0 device and simulator SDKs (Swift 6.4, in Swift 5 and Swift 6 modes, no warnings). I used a stand-in for ExpoModulesCore's module DSL with Expo 58's signatures.
  • expo prebuild with T3CODE_IOS_BROWSER_PASSKEYS=1 writes the entitlement and the Info.plist marker, and pod install links T3Passkeys. expo config without the flag has neither.

Not checked:

  • Building the dev client and running it. The Mac I test on didn't have the disk space this time.
  • The system sheet itself. It needs Apple's entitlement on a device. A simulator build would only show whether the simulator honors an unprovisioned entitlement.
  • Android, which keeps today's behavior.

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.

…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.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR introduces a large authentication flow spanning iOS native code, injected WebAuthn handling, server validation, and credential/password transport, rather than a contained behavior change. Unresolved ceremony-lifecycle risks and new static-analysis suppressions further warrant human review.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 41950

The new Copy selection action likely fails when the browser host runs Linux or Windows, because it always sends Meta instead of the host's copy modifier. After a reconnect, the phone's passkey sheet can also stay open for a request the page has already lost. The earlier security-key crash and the navigation cancellation gap appear fixed. Fix the copy shortcut before merging, or explicitly accept the issue.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟠 High · up to 9306f

Saved-login delivery is not bound atomically to the field it checks, leaving a potential credential-disclosure race. Outstanding passkey requests can also outlive the page that initiated them. Authorization and ceremony validation provide important protections, and passkeys require an explicitly enabled iPhone build, but those protections do not resolve these transition gaps.

Retained concerns

  • High · security · inferred: The new saved-login flow checks the top-level origin and focused-field category, then delivers credentials through separate asynchronous Input.insertText commands. Insertion is not bound to the checked document, frame or element. A hostile embedded frame that changes focus between validation and insertion could receive a password intended for the confirmed site. Explicit Fill and controller ownership are required, and an already-focused cross-origin frame is rejected, but those controls do not close the targeting race.
  • Medium · security · inferred: Navigation does not revoke the outstanding phone authenticator ceremony. The server retains pending state while navigation handlers update page status, and checks detachment or changed origin only after the device answers. The sheet can therefore continue after its initiating document is replaced, potentially creating an orphaned device credential or blocking subsequent ceremonies until settlement or timeout. Same-origin document replacement is not distinguished by the final check. Changed-origin rejection and UUID/viewer correlation contain result delivery, but do not close the native sheet or undo a completed registration.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The relevant attacker source is website or embedded-frame content in a browser tab the user operates. The filling race threatens the selected saved-login credential, not merely tab availability. Passkey exposure is narrower: it requires an opted-in capable controller and recent interaction, but registration can change device credential state before server-side result rejection.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A cross-origin frame can potentially steal focus after the saved-login eligibility check but before focus-based insertion, redirecting the credential outside the checked target. Separately, navigation leaves the phone ceremony active after its initiating document is replaced. These are newly introduced architecture concerns; neither attack was exercised in a live browser or signed-device session.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The WebSocket handler authenticates read access and derives operating capability from the authenticated session scopes. Passkeys additionally require explicit capability advertisement. The native adapter trusts server-checked origin/options; the mobile WebView restricts navigation to its local viewer document rather than arbitrary remote-site HTML.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Viewer actions are serialized and ownership is checked when queued work starts. Native ceremony completion is idempotent through a cleared completion callback, and native cancellation is request-ID scoped. These controls support failure containment, but viewer serialization does not freeze browser-script execution or focus.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Bind saved-login filling to a concrete same-origin document and input, with final eligibility checking and credential delivery in one target-bound operation rather than separate focus-based commands.
  • proposed — Bind pending passkeys to the initiating document generation and explicitly retire native ceremony ownership on document replacement or local transport teardown, while retaining UUID/viewer terminal-state checks.

The focused-field check called anything that was not a password field a
"field". With focus on the page, a button, or a read-only input, a fill
still typed the username and pressed Tab, which could put the password
in a password field the viewer never picked. The check now answers
"none" unless an enabled field that takes text has focus, and the fill
stops there. The writable-field test is shared with the touch keyboard
check, which behaves as before.

A request stayed pending after its document navigated, so the next page
was refused with NotAllowedError until the old request timed out, and
the phone's sheet stayed open meanwhile. A main-frame navigation now
ends it. A stalled viewer whose backlog is replaced also keeps the
cancellation, since the device closes its sheet only when it hears one.

A sheet opened for a page kept running after its viewer failed or
closed, so the person could still be asked to sign in for a page that
could no longer use the answer. The viewer now cancels its pending
request on both paths.

A key asked for a listed credential that is not discoverable may return
no user ID, and the module force-unwrapped it. The handle is now left
out, which WebAuthn allows and the server accepts. This also clears two
SwiftLint --strict errors in the module that the mobile lint job reports.

The fill checked the page's origin once, then awaited Chromium before
typing, and again after pressing Tab. A navigation in between could put
the username or password into the next page. Every step now first
checks that no main-frame navigation has started since the fill began
and that the page is still on the confirmed origin.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Close the passkey sheet when the stream reconnects.

The shared transport can drop the WebSocket and reconnect. The document then reports status: "connecting". On the server, the viewer-release finalizer removes the old viewer from tab.viewers and then calls broadcastControl. broadcastControl calls cancelPasskey. The passkeyCancel message therefore goes to no connection, because the old socket has closed.

The status handler resets the dialog and control state on "connecting", but it does not close the passkey sheet. As a result:

  • The system sheet stays open on the phone after the page has already received NotAllowedError.
  • If the user finishes the ceremony, the phone sends a passkeyResult with the old id on the new connection. The server ignores it.

Call closePasskeySheet() in the "connecting" branch.

🐛 Proposed fix (status handler, outside the selected lines)
               if (message.status === "connecting") {
                 // Dialogs may have closed and reopened while this viewer was disconnected.
                 dialogRef.current = null;
+                // The server ended any request this connection held; its cancel cannot reach us.
+                closePasskeySheet();
                 setControl(null);
                 onControl?.(null);
