Question

Google passkey in 1password

I use 1password on a windows 10 system, and recently added a Windows Hello USB fingerprint reader. So now i want to use a passkey to access my google account and save that passkey in 1password. I open up the chrome browser, and in 1password extension, I find my google account, and click 'use passkey' which takes me to a landing page that has a link to the google specific passkey creation page. i create the passkey using my fingerprint reader, and that all works. Google has save my passkey and I can log in to the google account using the fingerprint reader. The wrinkle is: I want to save the passkey in 1password, and even though i started the process from 1password, at no point did it offer to save the new google passkey in 1password. 

Is it possible to copy the passkey from google into 1password at this point?

Hello @mmaypo! 👋

Thanks for reaching out! It sounds like you're saving the passkey in the built-in credential manager rather than in 1Password. As a first step, make sure that you're using the latest version of 1Password in the browser: How to keep 1Password up to date in your browser

Next, make sure that the built-in password manager is turned off: Turn off the built-in password manager in your browser

Then try to save a passkey in 1Password again using this guide: Save and sign in with passkeys in your browser

Let me know if you run into the same issue and I can help further.
