ModeratorHey Marc,
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not sure there would potentially be a way to do this unless just the score was shared. This would allow folks to keep their data private without revealing details on where they have logins saved. The goods thing is I can get this before the team and let them study all the aspects and then determine is it's something they can bring about.
Thanks again for sharing.

Hello everyone! 👋
I wanted to share a sneak peak at passkeys in 1Password: Sneak peek: save and use a passkey to sign in to your Google account - YouTube
Passkeys will be coming to 1Password in June. 🎉

This problem just got a whole lot worse because Google turned on Passkey support for non-Google Workspace accounts today. Non-technical users are about to get super frustrated because without 1P support Passkeys created via a Chrome-engine browser are indeed locked to the device where they were created. There is some support in Chrome for signing in by taking a picture of a QR code presented by the browser with an iOS device, but to make that happen seamlessly you would have had to create the Passkey with Safari on macOS or iOS and store it in the iCloud keychain.
I am aware that 1Password has been making substantial effort in supporting Passkeys with its service, but with Google making the bold move of 100% supporting Passkeys, I wanted to make use of it by having it part of my 1Password account. However, running between my iPhone on Safari, MacOS on Safari and Google Chrome Canary, I have only been prompted to secure the Passkey behind the browser or Apple Keychain. I am wondering where the progress with Passkeys lie with being able to store them within 1Password instead of having me scatter my Passkeys throughout web browsers.

Browser:_ Not ProvidedOn my Mac desktop using Chrome, I created a passkey using 1P's demo. That went smoothly so I'm disappointed that 1P won't support passkeys for any other site else yet. I too want 1P to save my passkeys, not my OS or my browser.
Inspired by AndyPas's post, I then tried to create a passkey for Bestbuy. Chrome said "This passkey will only be saved on this device" and popped up a prompt for me to enter my password for, well, I don't know. I couldn't tell if it was asking for my desktop's login password or for my Google password. So is it storing the passcode in the MacOS Keychain or in Chrome?
Then I tried eBay where I made even less progress. I went to the security settings and don't see passkeys mentioned anywhere. How does one set up passcodes at eBay? There must be one since AndyPas mentioned doing so. Here's my screenshot of eBay's Sign-in settings.
Well, my biggest concern is the vendor lock-in. Imagine you're an iOS user and you have all your passkeys neatly stored in your iOS account. Then work makes you switch to an Android phone. I can see my passkeys on my Mac when I go into Passwords in the system settings. But I launch the Keychain app, they're not there. So, there no way to export or view them. And no way to move them to another platform.
Great thread, yes, I use multiple ecosystems of devices so passkeys really do need to be in a cross ecosystem/vendor system for me to take proper advantage of them. Cannot agree more on this.
I have a feeling that passkey support will vary wildly for a while but once the setup and configuration and integration has been done by the platforms, vendors, devices etc, things will all iron out as people slowly switch to them. Everything will improve and I anticipate that all your questions and scenarios where you got stuck will be fixed in time. I hope so anyway!
