2 years agoFeature Request: Choose between multiple passkeys (different accounts) for same website
I am excited to see passkey support in 1Password! Thanks for leading the charge 1Password Team!
I have multiple Google accounts - one for email and one I do not give to anyone to secure my Google services. I set up the second account to use a passkey and saved it to 1Password and all went well. I was able to sign out and then sign back in successfully. I then set up the first account to use a passkey and saved it to 1Password. Saving the passkey went well but trying to sign out and sign back in did not work as expected. 1Password did not give me the option to choose which Google account's passkey I wanted presented and it presented the second account's passkey over and over again. Did I miss a step?
1Password Version: Not Provided
Extension Version: 2.12.0
OS Version: 13.0.5672.127

@shadowplayer rctneil: Are you using separate login entries? I don't want to assume.
I also have this issue as a frequent user of multiple accounts on certain websites.

I totally understand rctneil, thank you for your feedback.
Let us know if there's anything else we can help with in the meantime.

Ok, Thanks. I would hope that this is quite high up on the to-do list as it does seem rather fundamental. and also a departure from how Password items work. With password items, if you have multiple for Google, then it doesn't just auto select, you have to choose.

Hi @shadowplayer and rctneil
I hope you both have been enjoying saving and signing in with passkeys from 1Password since the feature launched into Open Beta. Whilst you're currently not able to manually select a passkey when signing in, the development team are actively investigating this and how selecting a passkey of your choice during the sign in process will work in certain scenarios, such as if you have multiple items with passkeys for the same website.
I don’t have any information or dates on when this will be addressed. Instead, I recommend keeping 1Password in your browser up-to-date to ensure you’re receiving the latest features and improvements to saving and using passkeys during this Open Beta:

I've had the same issue. How to use an alternative passkey to sign into a different account.

I have multiple logins to the same site and i don’t seem to see an option to pick which Passkey to use. On iOS the native passkey process shows the available passkeys…whereas iPassword it seems to just use the first one alphabetically.

steph_giles In another thread about issues with Google logins, a 1PW team member said it was discovered over the weekend that having a period in a Google username might be causing problems. In my case, the account that 1Password tries to use the passkey from (regardless of which account I'm trying to log in to) does have a period in the username.
It also appears to be the first Google account that's listed in 1PW; this can be verified by changing the name of the login to change its position in the alphabetical order of logins. Immediately, whatever Google login is now at the top, alphabetically, becomes the one it tries to use the passkey from.
I'm on Win10 Pro, using Firefox (v114.0) with 1PW beta v2.12.1, and Edge (v114.0.1823.41) and Chrome (v114.0.5735.110), both with 1PW beta v2.12.0. 1PW desktop is v8.10.8 (81008013, on BETA channel). Everything should be up to date, though I've got Windows locked down to 21H2 so it doesn't try to auto-update me to 11. If there's any other info I can provide to help, let me know!

TataruTaru and Frenk have it covered but happy to provide additional information if needed. Thanks steph_giles .

You can reproduce it on https://passkeys-demo.appspot.com/. Create 2 different accounts and save them in 1P. Then click the 'one button sign in' button and click on 'sign in with passkey'.
It'll always take the first passkey, you're not able to choose between the accounts. If I use the default passkey manager in Chrome, I'm able to choose between two accounts when clicking the sign in button.

Saving passkeys aren’t an issue. I just get it to update the right account. However when you login, you aren’t presented with the option to select which account on Google to pull the passkey.
So it will always use the top passkey on the list of drop downs that match that url.
I had a video but I couldn’t really censor my emails and I don’t want to list it publically. But I can share the YouTube link internally if that helps explain.
