I am running Firefox 116.0.2 on a Apple M2 Pro Mac 2023.

Apparently there is some support of passkeys but it doesn't seem to work.

Steps: 1. Visit https://www.passkeys.io/ 2. Do the demo, filling in the fields, until you reach the "Save a passkey" prompt. 3. Click "Save a passkey".

You will see "Touch your security key to continue with www.passkeys.io". I touch the Touch ID sensor, nothing happens. Kinda confused. Am I doing it right? Does Firefox even support passkeys.

What shall I do? I would love to use this feature but I am not sure how it is supposed to work
