Dueling Passkey Providers
I've run into a problem with macOS 15.5, with Apple's "Passwords" app, fighting with the 1Password plugin over which one gets to process the login request. This happens with Safari and with Firefox.
Steps to reproduce:
- Visit https://nintendo.com/ and try to log into an existing account.
- When you get to the page where it asks for an email and password, something in the page itself starts the "passkey" login process.
- The 1Password pop-up appears in the top right corner, asking how to handle the passkey request.
- Before you can get your mouse up there, some other dialog appears, asking its own question about how to handle the passkey request.

I talked to Apple about this. After 45 minutes talking to an AI and then two different tier-1 support people, they finally escalated to a tier-2 rep who isn't required to read every word from a checklist, and she pointed out Safari's "AutoFill" settings. Turning all four of those checkboxes off helped for a bit, but after rebooting the machine it's doing the same thing again. Plus the fact that the same exact dialog pops up when using Firefox, tells me that something within the OS is making it happen.
Does anybody know where this is coming from, and more importantly, is there a way to stop it from happening, so that 1Password is the ONLY program trying to handle passkey requests?
