Please consider integrating 1Password as a Credential Provider on macOS.
For my personal life I am using iCloud Keychain to store my passwords and passkeys, for work we use 1Password and I am quite fond of using it. But I do have something I would like to see improved.

Ahh... right. So you are essentially saying I cannot use 1Password to sign me into an app using a passkey on my Mac without using another device. A credential manager not being able to sign me in, imagine that!
A major point of passkey is speed, having to grab my phone, scan a QR code, wait for the devices to connect to then be able to sign in takes a lot of steps, a lot of steps that could have been avoided had 1Password integrated as a credential provider like on iOS/iPadOS.
And all this for a board member of the Fast Identity Online Alliance, your current solution is slow by design.
1Password has this big stance on moving away from passwords, 1Passwords wants to move to passkeys and they see it as the future. Then why make it harder for macOS users to sign into apps and have all these hacks and extensions when you could just integrate with macOS?
You currently have 3 flows:
- Signing in with a password on a website in a browser: use the extension
- Sing in with a password on something like a Safari Web App: Use this weird accessibility hack we made
- Sign in to an app or Safari Web App with a passkey: oh we can't do that at all, use another device.
All this could be replaces by integrating with the system and provide one seamless flow that is always consistent and works on all devices.
