Hi,
I trying to simply create some recovery keys and following https://support.1password.com/passkeys/#save-a-recovery-codepost where it says there should be an 'Authentication' link under my name, but unless I'm blind I don't see such. Any pointers? thx!

All I see:

1Password Version: 8.10
Extension Version: 2.18.1
OS Version: Win 11
Browser: Brave

Hello @dragerz! 👋

Thank you for the question! Recovery codes are available to customers who join our passkey unlock beta and create a new individual account. They are not available in regular accounts that are secured using an account password and Secret Key or SSO.

Are you using a new passkey unlock account? If you're using an existing account secured by an account password and Secret Key then you can download and save your Emergency Kit instead.

ok, thx for the reply. Was considering backing them up before I tested but now know you need me to have a discreet acct. That's cool, I'll wait for GA, no problem.

@dragerz

We hope to share more about adding passkeys to existing accounts in the future. 🙂
