Hi 1P_Dave​ !

As I mentioned before, I don't need an actual copy/paste but simply the ability to move the passkey from one login entry to another. Phishing shouldn't be an issue in that case, I guess.

I know about adding a passkey to an existing entry. But the problem is that doing that used to remove the password from the entry. I'm not sure if that's still the case, but that's how I ended up with many duplicate entries over time. Many web sites don't consider having a passkey as "going passwordless" and they can still ask for your password. The ideal approach would be the combine password and the passkey. Maybe, it's fixed now, but doesn't help my current situation.

I've already been doing what you suggested: removing passkey and adding it again, or moving other fields one by one to the one with the passkey.

Thanks for passing this along to the product team, I hope it gets better. Maybe it already has? 

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I've passed your request/feedback along to our team internally. You wrote:

Which version were you using when you ran into this issue? And on which device? This definitely isn't the correct behaviour, when you save a passkey in an existing item any passwords in that item are kept.

    Hi 1P_Dave​,

    I think it was when passkeys were first rolled out. I don't recall the exact version number. I tried it with a web site now and it correctly suggested me to merge the passkey with the existing login item, and kept the password too.

    This seems to have been resolved, at the expense of my merging efforts :) 

    Thanks!
