I have looked in the flags section of Brave as per a previous thread but I can't find the appropriate flag. Thanks

    Hello @gwpass! 👋

    Thank you for reaching out. Can you clarify where you read that you need to configure a feature flag for Brave on macOS? There's no need to change any feature flags for the desktop version of Brave. Instead, you can save and sign in using passkeys by following these steps:

    1. Make sure that 1Password is installed in Brave: Download 1Password for your Browser
    2. Follow this guide to save a passkey: Save and sign in with passkeys in your browser

    Let me know if you run into any issues.

    -Dave

    Ah yes you are correct. What I had read applied to android not macOS. I am still a little confused though as I tried to save a passkey for crypto.com, and when I looked for the passkey in 1password it was not there, but it was saved as a passkey in my Brave browser profile - is this the expected behaviour? When I was prompted initially to save a passkey I was not given the option to save it in 1password, only in my Brave profile I had an error in 1password and the options to save a passkey as in the attached image.

    My issue is if they are saved in the Brave browser profile, the passkeys will not be availabl if I use a different browser? Thanks for your help

    I'm sorry that you're still running into issues with passkeys in Brave. I took a look at Crypto.com's website and their support article says:

    The Passkey feature is currently supported on iOS 16+ and Android 9+. If you want to set up a passkey, please ensure your device’s operating system meets the requirement.

    Source: https://help.crypto.com/en/articles/9196438-passkeys

    When you try to add a passkey to your account using Brave on your Mac do you actually see an option for passkeys on their website? Or do you see an option to add a security key for two-factor authentication?

    Are you able to download their app and save a passkey in 1Password using an iPhone or Android device? Here are our support articles for those platforms:

    I look forward to hearing from you.
