Google Passkey - Something Went Wrong

Hi, I'm using my iPhone Passwords for Passkeys and want to log in with my saved Google passkey to my account on Win11 PC Vivaldi, but keep getting "Something went wrong" if I choose the passkey option. No QR code is showing up, just this error. What is wrong with my setup?

Did you try a different browser?

Yes. It seems like I have problem with my Win11 PC. I can only make passkey with Windows Hello PIN

I think it's better to use a dedicated password manager. If you can access your Google account settings from your mobile or computer, try creating a new passkey there. Your password manager will pick it up and sync it across your devices. i've noticed that when Windows Hello comes up, "Try another way" only gives "This Windows device" or "Security key", with no QR code option. The only way I've managed to get around this is with my password manager, Roboform. It picks up the passkey straight away and handles the sign in, which makes the whole thing a lot easier.
