Microsoft account setup for Passkey

Naxterra

Hello

How can I save Passkey for my personal and business Microsoft accounts? For my personal account I went to https://account.live.com/proofs/manage/additional then Add then selected Windows device. It asked for my Windows Hello PIN code and that was it. I didn't get any prompt from 1Password. I tried both in Firefox and Edge.

Addon versions
FF: 1Password im Browser 2.12.1 21200101, im Kanal BETA
Edge: 1Password im Browser 2.12.0 21200003, im Kanal BETA

Hi there @Naxterra

On that page, click "(+) Add a new way to sign in or verify", then "Use a security key".

Follow along as if you were adding a USB security key, and 1Password will offer to save a passkey for you.

Let me know how that goes for you. :)

I just saw this message because I was wondering the same about the Mac. "Go passwordless" forces you to install Microsoft authenticator.

But I did what you suggested, went through the USB security option, and it works fine on my Mac. If I look on my iPhone it shows me that there's a Passkey in 1PW for that site but when I go through the login it simply copies my password in, then I get prompted for an OTP, instead of using a passkey. What am I missing? I can't set it up on the iphone because there's no USB security option showing when using an iphone.

@fuchsr, @GreyM1P's instructions work perfectly on a Mac. It's not OS dependent. You need to follow Grey's instructions and NOT click "Go passwordless".

I only have these three voices. No USB key option.

I have the same issue with trying to set up a passkey as login to microsoft. The only options available are the same as @superandrew. I am using an iMac with Safari Version 16.6 installed.
It would be great if someone could assist. Thanks.

hedkase

yup, same issue for me as well. "Use a security key" is not listed as an option.
I only see these three options:

• Use an app
• Email a code
• Text a code

Any ideas?

jostrasser

Same here, any ideas how to activate a Passkey on MS? Is it maybe only enabled in the US?

schmudi

Same here, no "Use a security key" is not listed as an option in Safari. However on Chrome the additional options are available.

Same here, no option to use a security key.

I followed these instructions, using Brave browser on my Mac running Sonoma, and they worked:

On that page, click "(+) Add a new way to sign in or verify", then "Use a security key".

Follow along as if you were adding a USB security key, and 1Password will offer to save a passkey for you.

Now, when I go to my main 1P.app > Skype, it says [You can now use a Passkey] and there is a "button" for [Use Passkey]. When I click on [Use Passkey], it takes me to Brave browser and offers to log me in exactly the same way it did before I created a Passkey.
Something seems amiss here. When I go to Skype, should I not see a [Passkey} button to click on?

I was having the same issue of only getting the 3 options while using Safari. I logged in using Firefox and that gave me the 4th option to use a USB key. 1Password saved it as a passkey.
