Trouble using passkey on Amazon's website

I just created a passkey for Amazon.com.
1Password's entry for amazon.com says that a passkey was saved, but where exactly is it?
In 1P?
When I go to login to Amazon (after removing other 2FA) there is no prompt to click anything to read the passkey. I'm just logged in after entering the regular password.
How do I know the PassKey is also being read?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Why not just use the TOTP authenticator app option for two-factor authentication? I'm not sure that I understand why you enabled the SMS option if you agree that it is less secure.

Cool, I didn't know what was an option on regular Amazon. That fixed me up! Thanks, Dave. :)

So I used to be able to see "Sign in with a Passkey" button the Amazon login screen that is shown by Dave_1P, but it no longer shows up for me. I have done all kinds of things to re-enable it. I have removed my passkey and recreated it. I have disabled two factor and re-enabled it. I have made 1P my primary two factor setting for OTP. I have tried no 2FA setup. I have readded passkey, which I see on Amazon and my 1P account. I am located in the U.S. It was there before, but now, it no longer appears. Any advice?

I have the same problem with Firefox: I never see the Passkey option anywhere with Firefox.

Try Safari, or, if on Windows, another browser and see if that helps.

With Safari, I get the either Password or Passkey dialog displayed. Still silly to me that you don't have to first log on and then further authenticate with passkey, but I bet Amazon made a business decision to make sure you can log in and buy stuff passkey or not...

Hey @davidpaul, @Mork,

Can you let me know if passkeys are working with 1Password on other sites for you or if it's just Amazon you are having issues with?

Yes, I am able to use Passkeys on other sites. Just looked at Amazon again before submitting this reply and still not seeing the passkey option for login.
