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.
1Password Version: 1Password for Mac 8.10.7 (81007041)
Extension Version: 2.12.0
OS Version: 13.4
Browser:_ Brave

Could you let us know what device/OS and browser you're using and whether you have biometrics enabled on that device?

With the latest nightly or stable builds of 1Password, I can't either use the scan qr code thing.. anyone else?
Microsoft surely enabled Passkey but only for livingontheEdge browser they have. :) - TimG1P1Password Team
OAW ,
Can you confirm whether you are opening this page in Safari? If yes then this is as David mentioned and Microsoft accounts do not support passkey creation and sign-in using Safari.
In this case you'll need to use another browser such as Chrome (I've tested using Edge and this works as well).
Selecting "Add a new way to sign in or verify" should present you with the following options:
From here you can follow the instructions provided by David to save your Microsoft passkey in 1Password.
Let me know how that goes.
Edit: some grammar correction.

TimG1P It would appear I completely missed the “non-Safari” part in David’s reply. I do see that option in Edge … which I only keep installed as a backup for the rare occasion I encounter a website that doesn’t work in Safari. But I will just ignore the message in Watchtower now since I’m not going to switch browsers just to use a passkey on Microsoft sites. It’s just not that serious! Thanks for the assist.

Hey OAW,
Thank you for your reply, please let us know if there's anything else we can help with at all.

I'd say that, just like wavesound mentioned, Microsoft stills doesn't support passkeys for work or school accounts in Microsoft 365, and that's what's causing the issue shown in detail in sukka's post.
I went through exactly the same flow and got the same error earlier this year when I tried to register a physical security key which turned out to be incompatible. Once I had a key that was compatible, I was able to add it without issue.
Also, some other services, like Google, makes a clear difference between physical keys and passkeys already in the settings menu where you choose which method configure. I expect Microsoft to distinguish between the two by adding a method called Passkey in addition to the already present Security key method. It's just confusing to choose the Security key method and then choose between a USB device and NFC device when it's neither.

Confirming same issue as above.
Edge: Version 119.0.2151.44 (x64)
1Password for Windows 8.10.20 (81020020)
Windows 10 22H2, 11 22H2 and 11 22H3, all recent updates applied. - Former Member
Just hopping in to add my experience with this as well. Like others, I am unable to use iOS or MacOS (Safari) to add a passkey for my personal Microsoft account. Considering 1Password knows that I only use Apple devices, it would be nice to have the alert in 1Password to add a passkey removed until such a time as 1Password has verified support for my devices with the account in question! steph_giles
