When I click on Continue, the authentication loop I'm talking about is that 1Password in the browser shows a notification in top right corner about trying to sign in with the passkey, but it's always trying to use the Google account listed at the top in 1Password.
Make sure you're trying this in your regular profile and not in a private session. The passkeys for Google seem to be linked to the browser that they're saved in, and it wouldn't be possible to save that in a private session.
