I've experimented with this and haven't had a problem. However, I was using the open source fork Vaultwarden and only the browser extension(s).

I am using the same combination, but the passkeys do not persist between different browsers

In the bitwarden browser extension, settings -> autofill -> "make bitwarden your default password manager"

Is this checked?

I also set a "pin" in settings -> account security -> "unlock with pin".

(After reading the article: maybe passkey requires bitwarden to be "more secure" - I dunno)
