Unlock 1Password w/passkey on Windows

Hi there @jd5000

Windows 11 doesn't yet support passkeys, but it looks like that Microsoft are adding it. We're working on including support for unlocking 1Password for Windows with a passkey and will have more to announce on that front soon.

At time of writing, unlocking your 1Password account with a passkey isn't generally available yet, and is still in the beta testing phase. You can keep up to date with information about unlocking 1Password with a passkey (and our other passwordless work) in our newsletter:

How do you join the beta?

Hey @jd5000, this is a limited, private beta, during which we’ve invited a small group of testers to create and unlock a 1Password account with a passkey.

We’ll share updates as we move forward with this beta.

Thanks, when (rough estimate) do you expect this to come out of beta? Are we talking days, weeks months, many months?

Hello again @jd5000,

I'm sorry, we can't provide further updates at this time. To ensure you have the latest features available, you can Use 1Password beta releases and keep 1Password up-to-date. Finally keep an eye on 1Password Releases for the latest news about feature updates.

Thanks for your patience while the team continues to work on unlocking your 1Password account with a passkey.

Windows 11 doesn't yet support passkeys, but it looks like that Microsoft are adding it.

Windows 11 does support passkeys now @GreyM1P (Windows 10 as well, but without GUI for mgmt though).

We were excited to see that too! As you might expect, we're looking into how we can use that with 1Password and although there's nothing more to announce on that front just yet, work is ongoing. :)

Thanks @GreyM1P for confirming that you're at least looking into it, now that you know it is available :-)

Hi @9elsen,

On Grey's behalf, you're very welcome. 🙂
