Passkeys do not work with Microsoft 365
When I go to add PassKeys to my MIcrosoft 365 portal it fails at the last step.
https://mysignins.microsoft.com/security-info
Same error in Chrome and Brave.
I was able to cancel the 1Password enrollment process and enroll a YubiKey just fine.

OS Version: 13.4

There are 2 kind of accounts from Microsoft:
- Microsoft accounts (personal ones : like with Outlook.com, Hotmail.com, Xbox etc.)
- Work or School accounts (professional ones : Office 365, Microsoft 365, Azure).I have tested both:
- Microsoft accounts:
works when you add a security key
- Work or School accounts:
does not yet works
- Behavior observed: FIDO2 Security Key has to be activated by the tenant Adminon the page: https://mysignins.microsoft.com/security-info, you can add a new method (choose Security Key)
Choose USB or NFC
1Password extension will popup letting you choose the account to use for the passkey.
However, on the naming step (Microsoft page): same error as in this post.
It seems Microsoft doesn't handle something.

I can reproduce both, i.e. I am able to add a Passkey to my personal Microsoft account in Edge. On Firefox, 1Password reported an unknown error before it was able to save the actual passkey. For work accounts, I also get stuck in the naming step.

I can still reproduce the issue with Microsoft 365 with version 2.12.2 of the Firefox extension.

@Joy_1P Has there been any movement on this? After trying to reproduce again today it's still not functioning. Not sure if there's a beta we could try that may work. Thanks!

Hey @razeth,
I have taken a look at the internal issue and we are having some trouble reliably reproducing this one. Can you reproduce the issue and send over some additional details to help us with our investigation? Here's how: https://support.1password.com/cs/extension-console-log/.
Please attach the console log to an email message addressed to support+forum@1password.com with a link to this thread.
You should receive an automated reply from our BitBot assistant with a Support ID number. Please post that number here. Thanks very much!

In 1Password, I see this for my entry for my work login to Microsoft 365:
But when I go through the “use passkey” flow, it takes me to a page whose URL starts with
https://login.live.com/login.srf
and when I try to log in, I get the error “That Microsoft account doesn't exist. Enter a different account or get a new one.”That error is I believe due to the fact that there are different login URLs for Microsoft depending on whether it’s a home account or a work/school account.
I also notice that I only get offered the passkey option when
microsoftonline.com
is one of the websites listed for this login. So I’m guessing that it’s 1Password logic that is sending me to login.live.com, and I think it should be sending me to some other login page that works with a work/school account.Is there a way I can tell 1Password to use the work/school login?

Hey @dcoletta,
You're right, at some point in the past, login.live.com and microsoftonline.com shared the same sign in credentials which has been added to our historical shared credentials list. This list combines login.live.com and microsoftonline.com under one domain so to speak, which explains why the Watchtower passkey banner is taking you to the incorrect page.
This is not the intended behaviour and I've gone ahead and raised this with our development team to investigate further, thank you for bringing this to our attention.
If you go directly to microsoftonline.com and sign in to your account, is there an option to add a passkey within your account settings?

It seems like there ought to be a way to add a passkey in account settings, but I can’t find it, and Google’s no help.
https://mysignins.microsoft.com/security-info
is where I would expect to see the option, but it’s not there:
