Auto apply pass key
Is there a way to auto-apply the passkey (if there is only 1), instead of requiring to click the "Sign In" button? Would love to save myself a click.
In fact, it would be even better if it behaved...

2 years agoThanks for the reply. Pressing a sign in button, or user interaction on the website itself, isn't necessary for a website to send a WebAuthn/passkey request that requests a passkey for sign in from available password managers. Websites can send these requests invisibly. When 1Password receives a WebAuthn/passkey it will show the prompt so that you can consent to using your passkey before 1Password uses it to sign you into the website. This ensures that you're kept in the loop and aren't being signed into websites invisibly.
Frequently that requires putting in a password first.
Passkeys are designed to replace passwords. Are you using a passkey for two-factor authentication as an alternative to using a hardware security key? For most cases, websites that use a passkey for sign in won't require anything but a passkey.
I think I saw the feature request elsewhere, it would be nice to trigger touch id request if there's only 1 passkey. Similar to how MacOS natively does it.
Can you clarify this request a little more? If the goal is to speed things up then it seems like pressing the Enter key to sign in using a passkey is faster than using Touch ID.
