It is a shame that nothing is being done here and update notes (at least for the Mac version) are misleading.

They state that import of passkeys is possible from 1PUX files if they belong to the same 1password version. But somewhere else it says that export omits passkeys.

This is unacceptable.

We are using 1password as a company as well and this could seriously be a "deal-breaker" after 2.5 years!

Hello folks,

I'm happy to share that 1Password supports exporting your items, including passkeys, using the Credential Exchange standard on iOS (iPhone and iPad). You can find instructions here:

How to export your data from the 1Password apps

The team is looking to support other platforms, like macOS, in the future.

I have completely given up on Passkeys. They are nothing more than vendor lock-in. Nobody is in a rush to implement export, because they don't want to lose the vendor lock-in.

Security is also only as good as the weakest link. If I set up a Passkey but can't disable my password and ONLY use a passkey + TOTP code, then I have only gained convenience and not security.

And Passkeys CAN be exported as plain text. Keepass lets me do it. The FIDO Alliance just refuses to allow it.

Maybe I'll revisit Passkeys when everyone gets their head out of their *** and does it properly. But without proper export and import, and the ability to disable password login, Passkeys are just an alpha product at best.

This was supposedly “coming soon” in October 2024: https://1password.com/blog/fido-alliance-import-export-passkeys-draft-specs

What happened? Talk about overpromising…

Hello folks,

Thank you for your continued patience as 1Password and our industry partners work toward a standardized, secure way to move passkey credentials between credential managers. Earlier this year, the FIDO Alliance published the Credential Exchange Format (CXF) as a Proposed Standard. You can read more about it here: Portability without compromise: 1Password helps author a new standard for secure credential transfer

CXF lays the groundwork to enable portability of passkeys (and other credentials) without compromising security. Implementing this functionality is something that our team is actively working towards.
