Unable to save passkeys on both Mac and iPhone

Some seem to be looking for a mobile device for their setup needs. Paypal I think was slowly rolling out support.

On my iPhone it's not working either. And even if it did, I would only have a passkey in iCloud Keychain, not in 1Password.

Could you ensure that your iPhone is running iOS 17 or later with Password AutoFill set up to work with 1Password?

• Use 1Password to save logins and sign in to apps and websites on your iPhone and iPad

If yes and passkeys are available for your PayPal account, you can use the following flow to save a passkey for PayPal in 1Password using Safari:

• Save and sign in with passkeys on iOS

Let me know how it goes.

Yes, my iOS and 1Password setup is correct. The thing is, I eventually could setup as Passkey for PayPal...., in the PayPal app, that is. I have to admit I was amazed not seeing this one coming.
This Passkey resides in iCloud keychain, or whatever it's called these days, but not in 1Password.

Anyway, when I open the PayPal login site in Safari on my iPhone I see the option to login with this Passkey. That works. Sort of. Because, after enabling the login with the Passkey I am asked for my 2FA code nonetheless. I thought that shouldn't be necessary anymore if using a Passkey.

And the other issue that persists is how to get this Passkey in 1Password. For Safari on iOS is not offering this. And I don't need to try it on my Mac because PayPal claims that my Mac and browser aren't suitable to make Passkeys.

There's a bug in iOS 17 that prevents managers like 1Password from using passkeys in iOS apps. Apple plans to fix the issue in a future update to iOS. You can continue to create and sign in using passkeys, with 1Password, in the Safari app.

Regarding PayPal in Safari on iOS, can you try these steps:

1. Login to PayPal.com in Safari.
2. On the website, open Settings > Security.
3. Select "Passkeys."
4. Select "Create a passkey."

Follow the instructions to save the passkey in 1Password: Use 1Password to save logins and sign in to apps and websites on your iPhone and iPad

Because, after enabling the login with the Passkey I am asked for my 2FA code nonetheless. I thought that shouldn't be necessary anymore if using a Passkey.

This will depend on each specific website's implementation. I recommend reaching out to PayPal directly for more details on when they require two-factor authentication.
