3 years agoiOS Passkey with Github fails to create or login
Hi,
I've made a Github passkey via the Edge browser on Win11 and it works great. Logging in via Edge is seamless.
Now that passkey is saved into my 1P vault I thought I could use that on my iPhone so I went to Safari -> github.com and tried to login. Unlike in Edge where as soon as I go to the login page and 1Password pops up saying "Sign in with a passkey". In Safari on my iPhone I get various different errors. Starting from this page point:
- Sometimes 1P doesn't pop up to offer to log in. When it does it does not offer the passkey and instead fills in a user/password.
- After filling in with user/password the website then prompts for a passkey, when you try to use it github says "Authentication failed."
- If you click the github button saying "Sign in with a passkey" you either get "Authentication failed.", OR you get these iOS popups asking to scan a QR code which makes no sense to me;
Also; I thought maybe 1P passkeys just aren't ready to be shared across devices yet so I logged in the usual way on Safari and tried to make a passkey on the iPhone. I get this error:
1Password Version: 8.10.16
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: iOS 16.6.1
Browser: Safari
