If a passkey is to be used or is to be created, the 1Password browser extension is detecting this, a corresponding window is popping up and you can handle the action within 1Password. You also have the choice of just closing this 1Password window. In this case, the default passkey handling from browser/operating system kicks in and you again have the choice to handle that action with their functionality.
Initiating passkey and physical key creation is the same on some websites, for example for private Microsoft accounts as above. At least it was the same at the time of writing. So 1Password pops up for that request, because it doesn't know if you intend to create a passkey or a physical key. You need to dismiss its dialog to get to the operating system dialog, which enables you to use the physical key.
