Standard Grant: Nydia Passkey Holder. Chapter 2

[new0ne]

July 2025 | Nydia Passkey Holder Final Progress Report:

Features

After two months in secret-testpress, Nydia v1.0.0-alpha.4 for Chrome and Firefox — and v1.0.0-alpha.2 for Safari — has landed in main!

The onboarding process now generates a unique 12-word recovery phrase to encrypt your passkeys. Save it safely — it’s the only way to restore access to your keys! 𐂷

Improvements and Bug Fixes

• Move isSynced flag outside encrypted data. (Chrome/Firefox, Safari)
• Make authentication non-blocking with async counter sync. (Chrome/Firefox, Safari)
• Add per-credential mutex to prevent counter race conditions. (Chrome/Firefox, Safari)
• Eliminate mutation and avoid redundant re-encryption. (Chrome/Firefox, Safari)
• Fixed credential lookup. (Chrome/Firefox, Safari)

What Comes Next?

From day one, my goal has been to make Nydia capable of creating a passkey on absolutely any site across the web. While Nydia’s compatibility has improved and now covers more websites for both registration and authentication, unfortunately, there are still places where the passkey registration ceremony can’t be completed.

So what does this mean in practice?

Two things:

• Nydia remains in its alpha stage for now.
• The story continues — the draft of the next chapter is already sketched out, and things are quietly taking shape.
