Will the passkeys test account be "supported"?

I'm wondering, if we start using the passkeys test account for everyday passwords, can we depend on it still existing in the future? Like is 1Password going to suddenly make the account disappear or something? Of course I imagine at some point the account may become a normal 1Password account and thus have e.g. a subscription fee, that's totally great/fine.

I'm basically wondering if it's reasonably safe to start using the passkeys beta for my passwords. I do not wish to use a master password setup with classic 1Password if I can at all avoid it. I really, really want to avoid using one of the other password managers.

1Password Version: 8.10.34
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: 14.5
Browser: Chrome

    Here's a concrete question: will the recovery code I get now continue to work in the coming months?

    Hello @b36411! 👋

    Thanks for the question! You can use a passkey unlock beta account as your main account but you might run into a few more rough spots than usual due to the work that is still being done through the beta process. Your data is secure and safe.

    Your passkey unlock beta account is an individual account with an extended free trial and you won't be able to change your account type during the beta.

    To ensure that you don’t lose access to your 1Password account secured with a passkey, I recommend adding multiple trusted devices as well as generating a recovery code. Your recovery code won't expire until you choose to remove it, or replace it, from your account.
