Testing passkey support. Is it supposed to be this difficult?

Hi Dave,

Thank you very much for replying. I'm testing passkeys to see how they work in a best-case scenario, like authenticating on iOS and Mac where 1Password is installed as well as all requisite browser extensions, and also in cases where I would have to use a loaner device and rely on another family admin and their devices for authentication in case of an emergency.

I didn't know I could sign in to 1Password using a passkey... My test consisted on enabling passkeys on a single Yahoo account and test different scenarios to understand how the process would be different in every case and to plan ahead, so the case is actually #2. I admit I was surprised by the Firefox prompt not mentioning a Mac, because it's easier to lose a mobile device than one that's always at home.

I kinda expected a 1Password notification to pop up on one of my devices, but that may be borne out of complete ignorance on my part about how passkeys actually work.

I do get why they're more secure, but I'm also curious as to how consistent would the experience be across platforms and browsers, or how things like the Mac's Internet Accounts would authenticate with passkeys too, as the OAuth authentication opens a webview that wouldn't be running the 1Password browser extension... Too many things to think about but I want to be thorough and responsible.
