Why passkey login to 1Password?

I can't understand the reason to spend development dollars to enable passkey login to 1Password account. I must be missing something here. I am a huge fan of passkeys and 1Password as the repositor...

Thanks for the reply. If you choose to unlock 1Password with a passkey, I recommend storing that passkey in a synced passkey provider and have this provider signed in on more than one device (iCloud Keychain on your iPhone and Mac or Google Password Manager on your phone and browser).

If you've saved your passkey in one provider (such as iCloud Keychain) you can still sign in using that passkey on a device that doesn't support that provider by scanning a QR code. Alternatively, you can add multiple passkeys to your 1Password account from each platform provider that you use.

I'm sorry for being unclear, no one is being faulted here. I was just providing an option that might be helpful in a situation where you've lost all of your devices and lost access to your email account. 🙂

Passkey unlock for 1Password is currently in beta and the team appreciates your feedback as we continue to iterate. I've passed along your thoughts regarding the recovery code process to the team.
