Passkey Unlock
- 3 months ago
Hello snappyβ! π
Thanks for reaching out! We're currently testing passkey unlock for 1Password (including both iOS, macOS, and other supported platforms) in beta: Unlock 1Password with a passkey (beta)
You can already unlock 1Password on both iOS and macOS using biometrics even if you're using an account that's secured using an account passkey and not a passkey:
- Use Face ID to unlock 1Password on your iPhone or iPad Pro
- Use Touch ID to unlock 1Password on your Mac
Let me know if I misunderstood.-Dave
Hello SunsetRider! π
It's absolutely safe to store your Secret Key in your Private vault in 1Password. No one can access your 1Password items without both your account password and Secret Key so they would need to know your Secret Key to get to your Secret Key. A good analogy here is to think of a physical safe: you can store a copy of the key to the physical safe inside of the safe and someone would need to already have a key in order to open the safe and get the copy of the key.
Let me know if that makes sense and if you have any other questions. π
