    As a Super Admin on a WordPress Multisite installation, I’ve encountered several issues when using Wordfence passkey authentication. These issues appear to affect the Multisite environment specifically.

    When a passkey is enabled for my Super Admin account, the WordPress Admin Bar does not appear on the frontend while I’m logged in. Additionally, when I edit an existing page or post and select Preview Changes, WordPress returns the error:

    “Sorry, you are not allowed to preview drafts.”

    I was able to reproduce the issue consistently. When I remove the passkey, the Admin Bar returns and Preview Changes works normally. When I add the passkey again, the problems return.

    My Super Admin permissions remain intact, and normal access to the WordPress dashboard, Pages, Plugins, Users, etc. is unaffected.

    This appears to be related to authentication/session handling with passkeys on WordPress Multisite.
