Where are the passkeys kept? Cannot locate them in Apple or 1P

in 1Password in the Browser

I'm totally confused about passkeys. After a bit of research decided to create a passkey for a financial site. I saved the passkey with the 1P icon showing up when I did so. I also want to create another passkey saved with Apple Passwords. I am able to login to the site now with the (presumably) 1P-created passkey. However, where the passkey stored? I see no note of it in the 1P login entry. I do not see it in Apple Passkeys. How to I choose where to store the passkeys? I'd like to create one in both Apple and 1P for redundancy but I need to make sure they are backup up first. The browser extension for 1P is now yet set up. Thank you.

1Password Version: 7.9.1
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: macOS 15.1.1
Browser: Safari

    Hello @omoua! 👋

    Thank you for reaching out! When you save a passkey using 1Password in the browser, that passkey will be saved in 1Password and you'll be able to see the passkey in your Login item:

    That being said, I see that you're using 1Password 7 which is an older and unsupported version of 1Password that doesn't have the ability to save or view passkeys. I recommend that you upgrade to 1Password 8:

    Once upgraded, you'll also need to install the modern version of 1Password for Safari: ‎1Password for Safari on the Mac App Store

    Then you can use this guide to save a passkey in 1Password: Save and sign in with passkeys in your browser Support

    I'd like to create one in both Apple and 1P for redundancy but I need to make sure they are backup up first.

    I don't recommend using two different password managers at the same time since that can create confusion. When you install 1Password, 1Password becomes your passkey manager on your devices rather than the built-in password manager.
