Confusion on PassKeys with MS

I am confused as to why 1PW shows me that a Passkey is available for OneDrive, which is linked to a paid 365 account, yet OneDrive has a Passkey.  I can see only so many Passkeys in my MS Account Settings, which I assume is separate from what I can see on 1PW. 

One additional note, where the heck can I see my Passkeys or what logins on 1PW have Passkeys?  If it is there, it isn't simple to get to, or is it?

Passkeys are great, but I am still skeptical about how they are administered between organizations like Microsoft, 1PW, etc. It feels like a cryptic, unorganized nightmare.

  • Hello OnePAJY​! 👋

    Thanks for the question! You can view all items with a passkey by searching for the following in the 1Password desktop app:

    =passkey

    Regarding OneDrive, you can find information about their support for passkeys here: OneDrive - Passkeys.Directory

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks Dave.  My confusion is related to Microsoft than anything else, but that is another hill I must climb.  With so many email accounts and then MS free and paid accounts I have accumulated, I just keep getting Passkeys and then there isn't.  1PW did not even have my latest email account but has the passkey.  Guess that is acceptable if I just said add Passkey, but one has to usually add a PW first.  It's not that it isn't correct, it seems it can get out of hand organized-wise.

    Just an additional note that I do not expect to see the exact key as that’s not possible. I meant to see what logins have a passkey especially without opening them all to look. I guess we could save them in a group.
