Passkeys not working in apps on iOS 17
Hi Guys,
I have updated all my apps and was excited to try Passkeys. I've 6 logins that I can upgrade.
I tried 3 of them and they all failed for seemingly different reasons. Is there a bug or ...

ModeratorI'm happy that saving and signing in with passkeys on iOS is now working for you. 🙂
The only thing I have to note, is that watchtower says about Apple ID having a passkey. But my understanding is that these work slightly differently and are QR codes for you to log in using your Apple ID, so I won't actually ever have a passkey saved for this item?
I'm sorry for the confusing Watchtower banner. Passkeys for Apple accounts are automatically generated by any Apple devices signed in to an Apple ID running iOS 17 or macOS Sonoma or newer. You will then be able to sign in with passkeys on Apple using any iOS device or Mac signed in to the same Apple ID you are signing in to.
At the moment, it's not possible to save a passkey for your Apple account in 1Password (or any other third-party manager). You're seeing the "Passkey available" banner appear because Watchtower takes its data on passkey availability from passkeys.directory: Apple.com - Passkeys.directory
I've filed an internal issue with our development team to have them look into removing or changing the banner until passkeys for Apple.com can be saved in 1Password. 🙂
