Yubikey vs Passkeys

Since Yuibkeys seem inherently more secure, shouldn't we continue to use those over the upcoming "passkeys"? It's confusing to me how both coexist and whether one might work where the other wouldn't....

Mork That isn't a change that 1Password itself can make. The websites you have accounts with will have to add support for Passkeys and offer a method for changing from password-based authentication to Passkey-based authentication. Passkeys and passwords will likely continue to co-exist for a long time to come. And there may be sites/services/systems that never adopt Passkeys. It isn't as though January 1 everybody is going to drop passwords and start using Passkeys, as nice as that might be. 😉

Whether you have Passkeys, passwords, or a mix of both, 1Password will be able to store them for you.
