ModeratorThank for the reply. With a passkey you never have to type anything, just use your saved passkey to authenticate your account and then confirm sign in on a trusted device.
The passkey authenticates you to the 1Password server which then sends a notification to all of your existing trusted devices. Your trusted devices will then ask you if you'd like to setup a new device, if you provide confirmation then the keys to unlock your account are sent to your new device via an end-to-end encrypted tunnel.
Without the passkey, you wouldn't be able to authenticate with the 1Password server. Your passkey is an essential component of the authentication and decryption process. You can read more about passkey unlock security here: About the security of unlocking 1Password with a passkey
Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂
