Hey ChrisC1P​

Thanks for helping me.
I found out the problem. I have 3 accounts. 
2 part of a organisation and one personal.

The use of passkeys has been prohibited within an organisation and disabled in the policies, which is why they cannot be used in the browser extension.

The problem is that this setting affects all my other accounts, where I absolutely need to use them. So it has been disabled for the entire extension

Is there any way to get around this, or would it be possible to submit a feature request?

Thanks.

I suggest that you create a separate browser profile for your personal use, not just to avoid this perplexing policy problem, but because this separation is a very good idea for many reasons.

You may also want to configure the 1Password extension in each browser profile to only show the relevant account(s).
