Passkey unlocked using device passcode
Hi,
A silly question, maybe, regarding unlocking 1Password with a passkey.
I was one of the private beta users and, while I found it very convenient, there is an aspect that worries me a lot. Pr...
This is a fantastic question! I have this same concern. Using long and complex passwords for mobile devices can often be impractical, so I’d imagine that for the average 1Password user, their account will be less secure if they go down this passkey-only route (especially if they are using multiple devices).
I think having an option to disable the fallback and only unlock with biometrics would be vital. (There are always the recovery codes if something really goes wrong anyways).
I’m a big fan of passkeys for other logins through 1Password, but a password manager is only as secure as the master password and with this approach it will now be only as strong as your iPhone or Apple Watch passcodes.
