Windows Hello isn't working properly and questions about passkey beta

Hi Dave!

Yep, I'm on the beta, but I don't have anything particularly important stored there. Seems to work pretty well.

On the current non-beta builds:

  • Mac works great.

  • On Windows, the browser always tells me that I need to type in my password before I can use Windows Hello.

  • On Linux, the same USB fingerprint scanner that is seen as 'touch' on Windows is seen as 'swipe' by Linux and simply won't work. Any ideas for a good USB fingerprint scanner that works well on Linux? I'm doing OK using my phone on sites that allow passkey via device (and on the 1Password beta).

Thanks,

Jud
