1P_Dave chiming in with my use case.
Why would you like to unlock 1Password for Mac using a YubiKey + PIN rather than using one of the > > following options:
- Your account password
- Your fingerprint (Touch ID)
- Your Apple Watch
Repeatedly entering my strong password is possible, but repetitive. After years of using 1Password I am looking for any optimization I can get to make 1Password auth challenges as quick as possible. Password prompts are very jarring when you are in the zone workIng.
My Mac lid stays closed. I need the desk space for other things. This means I cant use Mac biometrics.
I don't have an Apple Watch.
Im not creating another account for the passkey feature. Hopefully it wont require that in GA.
So you are saying this feature will allow pairing with a Yubikey and the passkey used in that pairing will then be usable to unlock 1Password?
If so thats a nice net-positive optimization and better than repeatedly entering my strong password.
Thanks
