Unlocking 1Password with a passkey is currently only supported for test 1Password accounts (which shouldn't be used as your main 1Password account) in an invite-only private beta on iOS and macOS, which explains why 1Password for Windows isn't following suit. Support for unlocking 1Password with a passkey will come to other platforms later in the year.
If you're using Windows Hello with a PIN, fingerprint reader, or by scanning your face, 1Password will be able to use that even after a restart if you've turned on the appropriate option in 1Password's Settings.
ℹ️ Your PC must have a TPM 2.0 chip for this to work.

Please note that Windows Hello doesn't support passkeys. You might be using a hardware security key with Windows Hello instead – if so, that will work in the same way as the PIN, fingerprint, or face methods already mentioned.
I hope that helps, but let me know if you have any questions. :)
