I'm using 1Password Nightly on my mac and saw this prompt on a few of my logins to switch to passkeys.

However, I don't see any new behavior in my browser (also using the beta extension) and the information link (https://support.1password.com/save-fill-passkeys/) goes to a 404 page. Is passkey support out yet on beta?


1Password Version: 1Password for Mac 8.10.7 (81007017)
Extension Version: Beta 2.11.0
OS Version: macOS Ventura 13.3.1 (a)
Browser:_ Chrome 113.0.5672.92

Hey @Richw1

Not a stupid question. 😃 Saving and signing in using passkeys is available in the beta versions of 1Password in the browser on desktop operating systems. It isn't yet possible to save or sign in using passkeys from 1Password on mobile devices.

Thanks Ben. So how do you sign in on iOS with a passkey (that was made with 1Password)?

@Richw1 I believe that will come in a future release of 1Password for iOS.

@1P_Ben will there be a beta test that we will be able to sign up to?

That’s fine (I understand that this is beta) but just trying to work out if I use the beta, will I be locked out of accessing websites on iOS?

@1P_Ben since I sent that this morning, checking things this afternoon now shows a "Passkeys available" section under Watchtower (Desktop App, Windows 11), along with multiple items found for Passkeys. Additionally, it resolves all of those items and it looks like I could start to work to setup Passkeys for those identified items... so it looks like it's working correctly now. Not sure what changed? I've been at work all day so didn't get to do anything, but I did try logging out/back in this morning before I posted here.

@1P_Ben Here is my Support ID [#MMT-15869-432]

Thanks.

Same as @ironcore13 here. Passkeys card in Watchtower home and accounts in its section appeared now.

If that might be useful at all, I launched 1password (beta) on my android device in the meantime, and I noticed that the purple notification for the passkey-enabled accounts appeared there. Then I tried on my Mac desktop now and all is there too.

As of now Passkeys Available has magically appeared in Watchtower for me.

The same applies here: the section appeared this morning on the desktop version, nothing on iOS though…
