Allow proper management / deployment of Browser Extension defaults
Allow proper management / deployment of Browser Extension defaults

We recently deployed Devolutions Workspace extension to our users, quickly realized that there was not an option to control the Passkey option. I was told by support that this would need to be a feature request?
Seems odd to allow all the existing options to be customized via deployment without control of passkey functions. Right now, it's a manual process I have to provide instructions on to disable per the settings of the extension and can only be done via GUI by the user, seems like this does not make sense as its always getting in the way and we don't want people using this for passkeys right now.
Below was my inquiry to support:
Looking over > Configure the Workspace browser extension in Google Chrome or Edge using GPOs - Devolutions Documentation
I don’t see a way to disable the passkey prompt? Is that a possible to configure for users (disable the prompt for passkey).

Hello! after some digging i found that there is indeed a way to disable the passkey prompt in the extension via GPO or by the user himself. Within the documentation that you have provided there is a example JSON that starts with:
{
"settings": {
//.......
}
}
this JSON should show all available keys to be set by the GPO but seems to be outdated. If you want to disable the passkey prompt by default with your GPO add this key with the value false in your settings
{
"settings": {
showPasskeyPrompt: false
// other settings.....
}
}
this should disable the passkey prompt functionality entirely and show the option unchecked in the general settings. If you wish to manually disable the passkey option, this is where you would do it.
If you are having any troubles implementing this option, please let us know.
