Hello sciascia! 👋

I'm sorry that you're having trouble with passkeys in Safari on your Mac. Make sure that the built-in passkey manager is completely turned off in Safari: Turn off the built-in password manager in your browser

Then in your browser, make sure that 1Password is the default password manager:

  1. Open your browser.
  2. Right-click on the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar and click Settings.
  3. Make sure that "Make 1Password the default password manager in this browser" is turned on.

If you still see the prompt from Safari rather than the passkey prompt from 1Password then have you already saved a passkey for your Google account in 1Password?
