Testing passkey support. Is it supposed to be this difficult?
What I read was that I could log in with biometrics on another device, but my experience leaves a bit to be desired:
Trying to log in with a device that already has 1Password installed is seamless...

7 months agoThank you for those details. On a device that you own, I recommend that you use 1Password in the browser to sign in using a passkey since that will provide you with the best experience.
On other devices, you can scan a QR code on that device using your mobile device and use 1Password on your mobile device (iOS or Android) to sign in using your saved passkey. You'll scan the QR code using the camera app on your mobile device and then tap on the prompt to open 1Password and allow the sign in.
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
At the moment, choosing the QR code option when you're prompted for your passkey and scanning that QR code using your mobile device to sign in with a passkey saved in 1Password is the best option for this scenario as well.
Let me know if you run into any issues or have any questions.
