Is there a way to have 1password autofill app password?
I think you are referring to the thread here:
https://1password.community/discussion/comment/713088/#Comment_713088
In the thread, 1P_Tommy says that a recovery code basically replaces the need to know the password and/or secret key. A 2FA method, if required, is still needed to log into the account.
But this is for the regular 1Password accounts with a password and secret key.
For 1Password accounts with a passkey as the login method, the situation has to be different. My understanding is that in this case, the recovery code (along with access to the associated email address), is all that is required to get into the account.
After all, recovery codes were created at first on the passkey-for-login account type, then later moved to the general password-for-login account type.
- Regular account (password + secret key) + MFA on => recovery code + email access + MFA needed.
- Regular account (password + secret key) + MFA off => recovery code + email access needed.
- Passkey login account (passkey only) => recovery code + email access needed.
This is my understanding. I do not know why 1Password chooses to require the MFA for the regular account (password + secret key + MFA) when using the recovery code. It does not seem necessary.

Thanks for your reply!
Its these "details" we need to know so we don't find out when its too late.Also from a previous reply from tech support I learned that when you have enabled the recovery code you still can't get inn if you have 2FA enabled or are using a Yubikey...
Would be nice if someone from 1Password could give us the full scope about the various scenarios.
GuustFlater I believe in this case the new recovery code function is used rather than the emergency kit:
https://support.1password.com/recovery-codes/
The emergency kit contains a secret key which is not used with the passkey-login 1Password. Instead what is needed is:
1) Recovery code
2) Access to your email associated with the 1Password accountThe recovery code can be safely stored off-site (e.g. a relative's house) because in order to get into your 1Password account, access to your email address is still needed.

Confirmed Passkeys are stored in 1Password.
Question:
If all trusted devices are lost (Imagine a house fire and all is gone....)Going to the Apple Store buy a new iPhone, computer, retrieve the 1 password emergency kit. Will the passkey's stored in 1Password work again?
I know the 2FA / OTP will work but need confirmation about Passkeys.

I saved the passkey for my 1Password Beta-Test Account in my "main"-1Password Account. I never had to use iCloud to store a passkey. I also added a FIDO2 passkey afterwards (did not test if would work without storing a passkey to 1P first)
Hi Dave, I added a question about storing the passkey in a hardware security key. In my experience with the desktop beta on Mac, it doesn't seem possible to use a hardware security key and iCloud keychain is required:
