Thanks for the reply. On the Mac, in Safari, you can save a passkey in 1Password with these steps:

The screenshot in your first post shows that you're trying to sign into your Google account using an existing passkey. Where did you save that passkey? In 1Password? Or another password manager? Do you see the passkey in 1Password? It should look like this:
