Question

Register a USB key instead of a passkey?

This is a minor annoyance. Once 1Password is set up in the browser, it becomes impossible to register new USB FIDO keys. I recognize that Passkeys are safer overall, but the only way to get around this that I've found was to temporarily disable the browser extension when I got to the point where I want to register the key.

Hello @alanhoyle! 👋

I'm sorry for the annoyance. If you need to use a security key on a website when 1Password offers to save awith a passkey, click the the security key icon button to use your security key:

I hope that helps!
