Unable to sign into Yahoo using a passkey

1Password says "passkey available" on my Yahoo card, but it's not! Instead they use a Yahoo dedicated "Account Key" instead. So why show this message?


_1Password Version: 1Password for Mac 8.10.9 (81009029)
_Extension Version: 2.13.1
_OS Version: 13.4.1
_Browser: Safari

This is confusing. Yahoo doesn't allow passkeys. I'm not too interested in, "well technically they do..."

I think because Yahoo.JP (Japan) was one of the first companies who supported Passkeys, Yahoo was recognized to take place on the list of supported Passkeys sites.
U fortunately other Yahoo countries dit not follow this innovating initiative.

Hello everyone,

Passkeys.directory now shows that Yahoo.com supports both Sign in with passkey and Passkey MFA. Please see our entry for more details: Yahoo.com - Passkeys.directory

If you don't see the option to add a passkey then it may not yet be available for your Yahoo account, it looks like Yahoo is performing a staged rollout. If Yahoo does make passkeys available for your account then 1Password will be ready to save and sign in using that passkey.

According to passkeys.directory, currently only Yahoo.com and Yahoo.co.jp have introduced passkey support.
