    Hello folks,

    I'm sorry that you're running into issues with passkeys on your Android devices. Please try the following steps: 

    1. Turn AutoFill off and then back on: Set up Autofill
    2. Update Chrome to version 141 or later: Update Google Chrome
    3. Open Chrome.
    4. Type chrome://flags into your address bar and open this page.
    5. Search for Android autofill in the search box at the top of the flags page.
    6. Tap the drop down below Android autofill updates context for WebContents (#autofill-update-context-for-web-contents), then tap Enabled
    7. Tap the Relaunch button within the prompt at the bottom of the page


    The same steps apply to Brave if you're using that browser instead. If things still aren't working then please send an email to support@1Password.com along with the following: 

    • A link to this thread: https://www.1password.community/discussions/1password/1password-for-android-cannot-become-the-default-passkeys-manager-and-other-issue/161255
    • The website or app where you're unable to save or sign in with passkey (even if it's all of them, please specify one or two). If the issue is with a website then share which browser you're using. 
    • Your Android device model. 
    • Your version of Android. 


    After emailing in, you'll receive a reply from BitBot, our friendly robot assistant with a Support ID that looks something like     [#ABC-12345-678]. Post that here, and I'll be able to locate your message and make sure it's gotten to the right place. 

    -Dave

Hi 1Password team and community,

I'm a long-time 1Password user on Android, and while password autofill works perfectly, passkeys have never worked for me except for one random instance (can't recall the app). Currently, passkeys fail across all my browsers and apps, always falling back to Google's password/passkey manager with no apparent way to bypass or force 1Password.

Here's what I've tried:

  • Browsers: Brave, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox – no passkey autofill or creation in any of them.
  • Apps: Tested in various passkey-supported apps, but it always defaults to Google.
  • Troubleshooting: Uninstalled/reinstalled 1Password, cleared cache, toggled autofill settings in Android (set 1Password as default autofill service), and reset passkey manager preferences. I'm using the latest 1Password version available on Google Play Store (v8.10.x or newer).
  • Device: Samsung S25 Ultra running Android 15.

It's super frustrating as I'd love to use passkeys for better security, but I'm at a loss here. Has anyone else seen this issue, especially on Android 15 or Samsung devices? Any fixes, workarounds, or known bugs? Would appreciate any help!

Thanks

Hello, 

I'm having the exact same problem in Microsoft Edge on Android. 1Password is set as the default autofill service however when accessing any sites which supports passkeys in getting a Google passkey window with no ability to switch to 1P. 

I have also disabled autofill in 1P then re-enabled with no difference, both apps are up to date.
