Passkey login on a remote machine without 1P installed

Hi @croldham

I would say you've got a good understanding of the limitations of passkeys for situations when connecting to a remote environment. Unless you're able to install 1Password on that remote computer/server, using a passkey to sign in to an account would be difficult/not possible because of the Bluetooth handshake needing to take place between the two devices.

Services typically offer passkeys-based sign in alongside passwords or other passwordless authentication methods like email codes or SMS codes. This is one workaround to signing in to accounts with passkeys but authenticating using other methods in situations like the ones you've mentioned, like you're remoting into a data centre.
