Hi

Yesterday i noticed on the release notes this line
"You can now save and use passkeys in 1Password on Android 14 or later. "
As a big user of passkeys, that made me really happy as I was waiting for any news on this. I upgraded my Pixel 7a to the newest Android 14 beta... and nothing. Chrome still presents me with my "system" passkeys, with no option to use 1password saved passkeys. Is this something that will only become available on the release version of Android 14?


1Password Version: 8.10.16
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Android 14 UPB5.230623.009
Browser: Chrome

@tonkku107 thank you. I had the flag set to just "Enabled". I'm pretty sure (not 100%) that the "Enabled ... and 3rd party passkeys" wasn't an option back when I originally tried this. I just changed it and voila!! I am now able to login with 1password stored passkeys.

@tonkku107 thank you. The chrome flag is "Android Credential Management for passkeys" which I've now set to "Enabled for Google Password Manager and 3rd party passkeys". I also set "Passwords in Credential Management API" to Enabled. Edge also has the same flags. Passkeys now work in those browsers.

I'm on Brave Browser with the flag on (Google and 3rd party) but can't get the passkey to work. It always prompts Google. Did anyone here manage to get it to work with Brave?

@loggor having the same issue with Chrome 120.0.6099.43 on Android 14 December security patch with 1Password 8.10.22.

Using a Pixel 6, and have the above Chrome flag for Android credential management for passkeys set to 'Google Password Manager and 3rd party passkeys'. Also have 1Password set as the autofill provider in Android settings under 'Passwords, passkeys and data services'.

Trying to save or use a passkey only shows Google password manager as an option.

Chrome has also started only offering google password manager for me even with the flag, but 1password passkeys still work elsewhere (such as the QR code flow). I suppose we'll just have to wait for chrome to fix this.

Having the same issue. I tried to logging in Adobe on Android Chrome with the Passkey that I created on macOS Chrome by 1Password, but Android Chrome only showed me the system Passkey (and it showed no corresponding Passkey)

Update: sorry I missed this part "Only apps with built-in passkey support are compatible with 1Password at this time. Saving and signing in with passkeys in browsers like Chrome will be supported in the future." in https://support.1password.com/android-autofill/.

It's apparently just not supported yet.

@k1832 if you read back on the thread you can find a flag that you can enable in chrome that adds support. It is still experimental and has stopped working a couple times in the past but I think it's better to try than to be stuck without support at all.

Hi @k1832,

@tonkku107 would be correct. Credential Management API support isn't enabled by default in Chrome at the moment and is behind a flag, which if enabled will enable this support to allow you to save and sign in to websites with passkeys via your Chrome browser.

Once this is enabled by default by Chrome, you will be able to save and sign in to websites using passkeys without needing to enable this flag, although we aren't sure when this will be.

Enabling the flag also works in other Chromium based browsers such as Edge, Vivaldi and Brave from testing on my end.

I hope this helps.
