Passkeys on iOS beta soon?

I'm using the TestFlight version of 1Password on the iOS 17 beta. I know that the API needed for 3rd party apps to use passkeys was added in iOS 17. Will this feature be added to the TestFlight beta soon? Would love to have it!


1Password Version: iOS TestFlight 8.10.12 (81012010)
Extension Version: N/A
OS Version: iOS 17 DB6
Browser: N/A

    Hi asportnoy

    Seems like it wasn't able to figure out which passkey to use on Google (I have a few different accounts) and I had to select it manually. Shouldn't it be able to determine which to use automatically?

    If you have multiple Google passkeys stored in your 1Password account, AutoFill should show a modal displaying all your Google passkeys able to be selected (with the account in question you're trying to sign in to automatically selected). Could you let me know if that wasn't the case for you here?

    I tried setting up passkeys in both TikTok and Robinhood but neither worked. Both were saved in 1Password but the app gave an error and it didn't go through on their end. Not sure if it's a them issue or a you issue.

    This is an issue within iOS 17 itself where passkeys saved in 1Password aren't working as expected in apps such as TikTok and Robinhood. We're working with our partners over at Apple to get it resolved so make sure to keep iOS updated on your device: Update your iPhone or iPad – Apple Support.

    Good to see passkey support on iOS! Few things I noticed while trying it out:
    - Seems like it wasn't able to figure out which passkey to use on Google (I have a few different accounts) and I had to select it manually. Shouldn't it be able to determine which to use automatically?
    - I tried setting up passkeys in both TikTok and Robinhood but neither worked. Both were saved in 1Password but the app gave an error and it didn't go through on their end. Not sure if it's a them issue or a you issue.

    Currently on Version: 8.10.16 (81016043) via TestFlight.

    It did display the prompt, but shouldn't it automatically figure out which passkey to use without my input? It does that on desktop.

    Shame to hear about that bug, hope Apple fixes that soon.
