in 1Password in the Browser

In my vault, 1Password shows a passkey but no password. See screenshot inline below (and attached)

If I delete the passkey, will I have password? I have read elsewhere that it depends on the provider. Does anybody know what happens with a Yahoo Mail account if you delete the passkey.
Thanks

    Hello @nelipot! 👋

    Thanks for reaching out. Passkeys are a modern alternative to passwords – they enable people to log in to their online accounts without having to enter a password. Passkeys are based on a public-private key pair – one key is public and connected to the website or app you’re using, the other key is private and stored in 1Password.

    Can you tell me a little more about why you'd like to delete the passkey that you have saved in 1Password? How do you currently sign in to your Yahoo account? Do you use the saved passkey or a password? If you delete the passkey from 1Password then the password won't automatically appear, you'll need to edit the item and manually add it there.

    I look forward to hearing from you.
