1P and Yubikey

Mark_Sealey

You need to use 1Password.com to add a security key as a second factor for your 1Password account. When you use a security key as a second factor for your 1Password account, the security key itself doesn't store any of your passwords or other items that you have saved in 1Password. All of your items remain saved and encrypted in your 1Password account itself.

The security key is only needed the first time that you sign into your 1Password account on a new device or browser. For example, if you buy a new Mac and you install the 1Password app then you'll need the following to add your 1Password account to the 1Password app on the new Mac:

• Your email address
• Your account password
• Your Secret Key
• Your hardware security key (YubiKey)

Once you've signed into your 1Password account on a certain device or browser, you'll only need your account password to unlock 1Password on that device/browser going forward. The security key is only needed the first time that you sign in to authenticate your account on a new device or browser.

I hope that helps. 🙂
