Passkeys
Trying to understand how passkeys work.
Signed in to amazon from firefox on windows, and saved a passkey.
I now see a passkey field in my 1Password amazon account login entry..
On the amazon website, I see a single passkey entry.
Then signed in to the amazon app on an ipad and saved a passkey.
The date changed for the passkey entry on my 1Pasword amazon account login entry.
On the amazon website, I now see two passkey entries.
What is the explanation for this?
Is the private key stored in 1Password?
Did I do something incorrectly?
How do I delete the passkeys and start over?

I was able to delete all passkeys associated with the Amazon account. Was also necessary to delete and reinstall the Amazon app on my ipad.
There should be better documentation on how passkeys work when dealing with multiple devices, browsers, and apps on multiple devices, i.e. IOS, Android.

Hello @SunsetRider! 👋
I'm sorry that you're running into issues when using passkeys. 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.
Once you've created and saved one passkey for an account (like your Amazon account) using 1Password on one device there's no need to create another passkey using 1Password on another device. 1Password makes sure that the passkey that you saved on one of your devices will be immediately available for sign-in on the rest of your devices.
You can read more about passkeys here:
- Save and sign in with passkeys in your browser
- Use 1Password to save logins and sign in to apps and websites on your iPhone and iPad
Let me know if you have more questions.
