I’ve set up [Discourse Connect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) where I can log into another app with Discourse.

Everything works when I use passwords, but when I log in to Discourse with a passkey during the flow, I get a `500` error.

 ![Internal server error modal](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/e/a/a/eaae2aad9dc5b5b7d5df4c470e7a63bf3315330c.png)

I see a 500 error in the NGINX logs:

```plaintext
POST /session/passkey/auth.json HTTP/2.0

```

and this in the Rails logs:

```plaintext
Started POST "/session/passkey/auth.json" for <ip_address> at 2024-08-28 21:33:32 +0000
Processing by SessionController#passkey_login as JSON
  Parameters: {"publicKeyCredential"=>{"signature"=>"...", "clientData"=>"...", "authenticatorData"=>"...", "credentialId"=>"...", "userHandle"=>"..."}}
start
Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 30ms (ActiveRecord: 0.0ms | Allocations: 4837)
done

```

I’m not sure where else to look for an error message.

Is it a bug, or do I need to do something else to get passkeys to work with [Discourse Connect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true)?
