Hi 1P_Dave, I can confirm that "Offer to save and sign in with passkeys" was already enabled in my 1P browser extension.

I tried accessing LinkedIn again and unfortunately I couldn't get the dialog to appear again - not sure why.

However I was able to make a similar dialog appear while signing into amazon.co.uk, although I had to do some additional steps to make it appear:

  1. Access amazon.co.uk
  2. Click Sign-In
  3. Enter my email address and click Continue
  4. When the password prompt appears, click "Sign in with a passkey"
  5. When the 1Password "Sign in with passkey" slideover appears, press Escape

While still confusing, this doesn't seem as bad as the original issue because I actually had to dismiss the 1Password passkey sign-in prompt to make the Chrome dialog appear.

The dialog that appears is similar but not exactly the same, there are only 2 options instead of 3:

When this first occured with LinkedIn I was not even trying to use passkeys. I was just signing in with password+MFA. No 1Password "Sign in with passkey" slideover appeared, and the Chrome dialog popped up spontaneously during the login process.

I've emailed the console log anyway. No Support ID number has appeared yet but I'll post it here when I get it.

EDIT: The Support ID is [#WZP-73318-786].
