Will the future Unlock with passkey allow unlocking one device with another?

Hey there @tobia

In short, yes. If the passkey that unlocks your 1Password account isn't present on the device you're using then you'll have the option to scan a QR code with another device such as your phone to securely use its passkey instead. This is exactly the same as any other passkey implementation, such as signing into a website, using a passkey from another device.

On your other device, you'll be prompted to unlock 1Password, and will be shown a short verification code (6 alphanumeric characters) and you'll need to enter that on the new device to confirm that you want to sign in. This means that signing in to 1Password somewhere new is always a deliberate action that you confirm you want to do from one of your trusted devices.

After that, if supported by that new device, you can use biometrics such as Face ID or Touch ID on iOS/iPadOS, Touch ID or an Apple Watch on macOS, Windows Hello (with face, fingerprint or PIN), your fingerprint on Android, or system authentication on Linux to unlock 1Password conveniently, just like you can do now with existing 1Password accounts unlocked with a Secret Key and account password.

The "Step 2" section of this article will help show how signing in works in practice:
