Accessing 1Password with Passkey

Hello @JRandomPerson! 👋

Thank you for the questions! Unlocking 1Password with a passkey is currently in a private beta

We hope to share more news soon about the specifics of our implementation as we move towards a public beta in the future. 🙂

Hi @1P_Dave! Thanks for the info. I was also a bit confused by this because after looking through the https://1password.com/product/passkeys and seeing the section "Unlock 1Password with a passkey", I think I misinterpreted the line "Availability: 1Password for iOS (private beta), 1Password for Mac, Windows, Android, and Linux (coming soon)"

I thought this meant:
- Available on 1Password for iOS (private beta)
- Available on 1Password for Mac
- Available on 1Password for Windows
- Available on 1Password for Android
- Availability on Linux (coming soon)

Perhaps the language could be adjusted to be slightly more clear.

I'm sorry for the confusion, I've passed along your feedback regarding the phrasing used on our website to the team internally.

Let me know if there's anything else that I can help you with. 🙂

ah that's why I could not be able to activate my 2 new Yubico Yubikeys... whatever the computer I tried from (home / work). It's just a bit weird to let the option available on our account if it is not avaible for public usage.
So, I hope it will be available soon! I didn't paid these keys for nothing but using them with 1Password!

Even though 1password will not comment on it, the "unlock with passkey" feature must be close to a public release if they meet their goal.

This article from July states

Today, we’re delighted to share that we’re launching a private beta that allows a small group of testers to create and unlock a 1Password account with a passkey. This is an important step as we move toward our goal of releasing this capability for everyone later in the year.

This thread is specifically regarding an upcoming feature that will allow you to unlock 1Password using a passkey instead of your account password.

Are you trying to add a YubiKey to your 1Password account for two-factor authentication? If you are then that is already supported: Use your security key as a second factor for your 1Password account

Are you seeing an error message when you try to add your security key as a second factor for your 1Password account? If I misunderstood your comment then let me know.

Thank you for linking to the blog article, we hope to share more soon! 🙂

I hope the ability to login to 1Password with multiple passkeys will be an option.
That way I can setup 1Password's passkey onto 2 yubikeys: one for use, one for backup purposes.

In the future, if you choose to unlock 1Password with a passkey, we recommend storing that passkey in a platform account, such as Apple’s iCloud Keychain, which will make that passkey available on all of your devices. We also recommend that you have more than one device synced with that platform account. This way, if you lose a device, you have another way to recover your 1Password account.

While we are still working through the exact details of how account recovery will work in 1Password, we plan to include multiple secure options in case you lose a device or biometrics are not available. Generally, we recommend adding as many trusted devices across platforms as possible. Other fallback methods may also be available, such as a recovery code.

@1P_Dave Is that answer a “No” or a “Yes”?
