Hello nicos18!

I'm sorry for the confusion. Both passkeys and security keys use the same underlying webauthn technology which is why you're seeing the prompt from 1Password appear in your browser. If you'd like to add a physical security key for two-factor authentication to your Github account you can click on the security key icon in the prompt to dismiss 1Password and use your security key instead:

If you'd like to save a passkey for sign-in to your Github account, not a security key for two-factor authentication, then make sure to select the appropriate option on the Github website.

Let me know if you have any questions.
