Immich's 3.4 candidate brings passkeys to the phone app

self-hostedphoto-managementbackupsauthenticationface-recognition
◆Current state
Immich is in its v3.4 release-candidate cycle. rc.1 added passkey sign-in, built-in backups through FUTO Backups (restic-based), JPEG XL support and mobile tags, with a batch of security fixes; rc.2 was bug fixes only. rc.3 on 6 November extends passkeys to the mobile apps and improves the backup integration.
◆Where it's heading
Each Immich cycle runs three or four candidates in a few weeks, and 3.4 is adding the account and data-safety features a self-hosted photo library needs before households rely on it. Passkeys reaching mobile completes the sign-in change across clients.
◆Prediction
A stable v3.4.0 is the likely next entry, with the draft release notes already published.

    v3.4 RC2 is bug fixes only ahead of the stable release

    The second 3.4 candidate is bug fixes only, which suggests the passkey and backup features from rc.1 are close to a stable release. It repeats the advice to set the v2 ML model revision for lower memory use.
