Hi lucasan thanks for getting back to me.
At this point, it's not possible to authenticate the 1Password browser extension by scanning a QR code without having to go through 1Password.com.
Additionally, without the desktop app installed, you will have to unlock the 1Password browser extension using your account password unless you're using Safari as your browser where Touch ID can be enabled as an unlock method in the Security settings: Manage your unlock and auto-lock settings in 1Password
As for unlocking 1Password with a passkey, this feature is still in beta and requires creating a separate 1Password account to use: Unlock 1Password with a passkey (beta)
Since this is still in beta, we don't recommend using these accounts as real accounts or storing any information you need access to there. These are merely meant to be test accounts as we feel that more work is still needed to get the experience to where it should be before we're able to release and promote the feature to a general audience.
Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi Chris, I did a search with Google AI. My account is a family type.
I'd like to authenticate with 1Password Browser at my company without typing in my password by scanning a QR code and without having to go through 1Password.com every time.
The ideal scenario would be to unlock 1Password Browser with a passkey or a choise in 1Password extension for a QR code
