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 like native MacOS, where instead of a click, it would ask for a touch ID.

    Hello konstk1! 👋

    Thank you for reaching out. Signing in with a passkey requires that you first confirm the sign in for two big reasons:

    1. It allows you to choose which passkey to use in a situation where you might have multiple accounts for the same website.
    2. Without user confirmation it would be possible for a website to trigger an automatic login without your consent. This can pose privacy and security implications for websites that you might want to temporarily browse anonymously without logging in right away.

    Once you see the passkey prompt from 1Password you can press Enter on your keyboard to sign in rather than having to click on the button using your mouse. 🙂
