Feature Request: Choose between multiple passkeys (different accounts) for same website

Hi @shadowplayer and @rctneil

I hope you both have been enjoying saving and signing in with passkeys from 1Password since the feature launched into Open Beta. Whilst you're currently not able to manually select a passkey when signing in, the development team are actively investigating this and how selecting a passkey of your choice during the sign in process will work in certain scenarios, such as if you have multiple items with passkeys for the same website.

I don’t have any information or dates on when this will be addressed. Instead, I recommend keeping 1Password in your browser up-to-date to ensure you’re receiving the latest features and improvements to saving and using passkeys during this Open Beta:

- 1Password Releases

Ok, Thanks. I would hope that this is quite high up on the to-do list as it does seem rather fundamental. and also a departure from how Password items work. With password items, if you have multiple for Google, then it doesn't just auto select, you have to choose.

I totally understand @rctneil, thank you for your feedback.

Let us know if there's anything else we can help with in the meantime.

@shadowplayer @rctneil: Are you using separate login entries? I don't want to assume.

I also have this issue as a frequent user of multiple accounts on certain websites.

Yes

Super disappointed that this is still not implemented! 😢

Instead of enabling me to use passkeys, 1Password is now preventing me from using them...

(I have multiple accounts for multiple services)

Hi @XIII! My name is Hilary and I'm a Senior Developer on the Filling and Saving team, focussing my time exclusively to passkeys.

The decision to make auto-signing in of a passkey has been changed based on the really great feedback we've been hearing. For context, the original decision was made in hopes to ease the sign in flow by making it automated. But it's had the opposite effect for many users, like yourself, which is why we're pivoting.

I'm actually working on the account selection flow right now! If it all goes well, it will be going out in a Nightly release soon!

In the meantime, if you hop onto our Stable release, you won't be enabled to use passkeys in 1Password but you at least won't be blocked from using passkeys in general.

@Hilary_1P That is fantastic news! Thank you for sharing.

Passkey support is great for services where I have just a single account, so I don’t want to go back to Stable…

Can you please update us when this selection functionality has become available in the Nightly channel?

Hopefully passkey selection can be setup like the URL schema. So you can have passkeys be auto login, unless you set a flag that url has multiple options, so you get a switcher, that way the original vision could be maintained.

Will 1Password both
-allow us to choose the account to be used (several gmail, Microsoft accounts)
-and prompt for biometrics at each passkey use?
Not sure the WebAuth standard mandates this, but it sure is nice on iOS and macOS currently that Safari pops up a biometric request (FaceId on the phone).

Apple’s implementation is really nice at the moment, and if 1Password doesn’t allow us to authenticate each passkey use request, I would seriously consider using iOS macOS native passkey syncing and using 1Password for other site details. This is what my workflow is currently and honestly, it is a nice workflow to get a confirmation of which account is being used and to require biometrics. Hope 1pw doesn’t go too far in trying to one up the UX currently. Recall, for sites that support passkeys, once windows adds support, you only have to allow each site once on the windows box using a QR scan to have the passkey live separately in table Windows ecosystem as well. Not ideal, but at least we don’t have to ‘type in’ the password. Once scanned, it can be available separately on two platforms.

Really hope I don’t have to do this and 1Password can replicate the nice workflow / UX currently already available.
