Passkeys in Chrome - 1P not being triggered

Hi,

I am normally working on a Mac, where everything seems fine. I occasionally have to work on Windows these days, and whenever I am trying to login to a site for which I have a passkey stored in 1P, instead of the 1P browser extension offering the passkey to login, I get the native Windows popup for passkeys/security keys.

How do I get 1P to react here?

@cryptochrome,

I just heard from our devs about a potentially easier workaround if you didn't redo the rest of your Google accounts.

Can you just open the saved login item with the (old/original) passkey? Then, edit the login and save it right away, you don't have to change anything there.

Then, can you test if the item would work for your Google passkey sign-in?

Too late :) Already recreated them all. Was quicker and less painful than I thought. Thanks, though, for offering another solution!

I am re-opening this thread, because again, 1P is not being triggered to present a passkey. And this time, I am not going to re-create all my passkeys. I did that the last time, that worked, now those new passkeys stopped working again. For a detailed issue description, refer to the first couple of posts in this thread.

I'm sorry that the issue has come back. Although the symptoms might be the same it's likely that the cause is different now and I'll need to investigate further to find a solution. I've read through the entire thread, so that I can better understand the issue as it exists today can you tell me the following:

  1. Is the default Chrome interface for saving passkeys appearing when 1Password fails to show a prompt?
  2. Is the issue occurring on multiple websites or just for your Google account?
  3. What version of Chrome and 1Password in the browser are you using?
  4. How to update - Google Chrome
  5. How to keep 1Password up to date in your browser

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi @1P_Dave

  1. Yes, exactly. Instead of 1P, I am shown the Windows default interface for passkeys
  2. I only tested this with Google, haven't tried anything else (I am normally not using Windows)
  3. My 1P auto-updates, so it was probably at the version that was current when I posted the message a few days ago.

Cheers
