I'm not sure that I understand the question, can you clarify a litter further? Once you've saved a passkey for a website in 1Password, you'll use that same passkey to sign into that website on all of your devices. The passkey won't change unless you delete it and save a new passkey.
I am confused about biometrics. I thought they were the future instead of passwords or passkeys. Now I find that some sites use one or the other or a combination of the three. Very confusing.
When using 1Password, biometrics unlock 1Password and allow you to save or sign in with either a passkey or password. Some services might use biometrics to lock their app after you've already signed in so that unauthorized people who gain access to your device can't use the app without your permission.
