I'm sorry for the delay in replying to this thread. 1Password is a universal credential manager that enables you to sign in to websites and apps using any credentials: password, passkey, supported providers like Google or Apple, and more.
In all cases, your credentials in 1Password, including a passkey's private key, live inside your encrypted 1Password vault. You can only access them after proving your identity to 1Password. When you unlock 1Password (via Face ID, Touch ID, biometric, account password, or device passcode), that unlock event serves as the authentication gate and user verification.
There is no second biometric prompt because you've already proven who you are by unlocking 1Password. You can adjust when, and how often, 1Password locks: Manage your unlock and auto-lock settings in 1Password
That said, I’ll share your feedback with the team so they can consider it as we continue improving and refining our passkey support.
