Hi telephoneman2

Apologies for the delay in reaching back out to you here. The development team have absolutely heard yours, and many other users', calls to be able to unlock 1Password with a passkey stored on a security key. Recently, the ability was added to add multiple passkeys to an unlock with passkeys account by signing in on 1Password.com, selecting your name in the top right, then selecting Authentication. This helps address those concerns about wanting a backup passkey stored in another service if you ever lose access to your main passkey.

Could you also let me know what "hidden secret" you have in mind here? If you're thinking of the public-private key pair of a passkey; one key is public and connected to the website or app you’re using (in this case, 1Password.com), the other key is private and only stored on your device where the passkey was created. If you were to create a passkey on a Yubikey, the private key would be stored on there.
