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

PS: Does Nightly refer to the channel of the App, the browser extension, or both?

I've merged my work into the main branch so it should be available in Nightly either today or tomorrow!
Thank you for doing that and notifying everyone here!
Will try tomorrow (if available).

@dangh I've also merged a fix to exclude disabled vaults from the sign in flow :) That should be in Nightly soon as well!
I unfortunately won't be able to keep checking in on this thread as often as I'd like, so apologies in advance if you don't hear from me about more updates. But the Product and Support teams monitor these forums so hopefully all other concerns are addressed :)

Hilary_1P pls take into account that the passkey should not be available if it's stored in an inactive vault so we can skip unnecessary account selection. The current behaviour is frustrating because it keeps picking the passkey that should be disabled together with the vault.

Will 1Password both
-allow us to choose the account to be used (several gmail, Microsoft accounts)
-and prompt for biometrics at each passkey use?
Not sure the WebAuth standard mandates this, but it sure is nice on iOS and macOS currently that Safari pops up a biometric request (FaceId on the phone).Apple’s implementation is really nice at the moment, and if 1Password doesn’t allow us to authenticate each passkey use request, I would seriously consider using iOS macOS native passkey syncing and using 1Password for other site details. This is what my workflow is currently and honestly, it is a nice workflow to get a confirmation of which account is being used and to require biometrics. Hope 1pw doesn’t go too far in trying to one up the UX currently. Recall, for sites that support passkeys, once windows adds support, you only have to allow each site once on the windows box using a QR scan to have the passkey live separately in table Windows ecosystem as well. Not ideal, but at least we don’t have to ‘type in’ the password. Once scanned, it can be available separately on two platforms.
Really hope I don’t have to do this and 1Password can replicate the nice workflow / UX currently already available.

Hopefully passkey selection can be setup like the URL schema. So you can have passkeys be auto login, unless you set a flag that url has multiple options, so you get a switcher, that way the original vision could be maintained.

Hi XIII! My name is Hilary and I'm a Senior Developer on the Filling and Saving team, focussing my time exclusively to passkeys.
The decision to make auto-signing in of a passkey has been changed based on the really great feedback we've been hearing. For context, the original decision was made in hopes to ease the sign in flow by making it automated. But it's had the opposite effect for many users, like yourself, which is why we're pivoting.
I'm actually working on the account selection flow right now! If it all goes well, it will be going out in a Nightly release soon!
In the meantime, if you hop onto our Stable release, you won't be enabled to use passkeys in 1Password but you at least won't be blocked from using passkeys in general.

Super disappointed that this is still not implemented! 😢
Instead of enabling me to use passkeys, 1Password is now preventing me from using them...
