3 years agoGoogle Passkeys
I’m able to create a passkey for google with 1Password and Chrome. But when I try to use that passkey it always defaults to the built-in passkeys with Windows Hello. I don’t see an option to use 1Passwords passkeys with Google—instead of the windows passkey. I don’t have this issue with other sites…just Google. Thanks

Yeah.. I'm having a similar issue. On Linux, Firefox'll happily use my 1PasswordX accessed passkey. On windows, however, when Google Workspace wants to sign back in again in Chrome, it'll only offer Windows Hello or my Android device or "another way".

Bitwarden now has support for passkeys. It pops up first when trying to log into Google accounts using a passkey. It allows me to revert to browser, at which point other extensions or the default can take over, which for Google accounts results in the browser default similar to what is shown the last comment. For an account where I can use 1Password passkeys, Bitwarden still pops up first, but selecting browser allows 1Password's passkey prompt to appear. Given that Bitwarden is open source, I assume it is possible to review what they do differently on Windows to allow Google passkey sign ins.
I currently use Bitwarden for work and 1Password for personal use. I'm working on migrating the work to 1Password, but not there yet given the extra cost.

Still not working for me. I've cleared out all traces of passkeys from my google account. Attempting to add a passkey:
I'm only prompted to scan my fingerprint:
and under more choice is just PIN.
This is a step back for me from the beta 1Password extension where this prompt opened 1passward and I was able to add a passkey to it (only never to use it as when prompted to login Google would ask for fingerprint / pin). - Former Member
It's all working again for me in Chrome; I set up a new passkey, stored it in 1Password, and can log in with it. Not sure whether this was a 1PW change or a Google change, but either way, it's nice to be back on passkey sign-in.

Passkey works consistently logging into my Google account using MS Edge also. I have never had so much for logging in, LOL.

Hooray! My Google passkey with Chrome with the 1password browser extension finally works...the Google login dialog boxes present the button consistently. Here is how it happened: I decided to delete my previously created passkey and turn-off two factor authentication for my Google account because I noticed that the graphics in the Google login screens had been updated by Google. The only other feature that I would like is: turning off password autofill per item. Even though the filling of the password is masked it still seems like a potential security threat as well as not being "clean".

@oxalate weird, "it works on my machine" after I removed the autogenerated passkeys, I was on edge tho, maybe chrome having a better integration with google services creates a passkey through the browser as well 🤷♂️.
In any case, I have already submitted a bug for this issue, I guess we need to play the waiting game now. - Former Member
@rco, I was using Chrome on Windows 10 when I removed the Android passkey and then tried signing in again. 1Password had my Google passkey saved, but I couldn't get past the Chrome prompt for a physical key (a security key, or my phone), just as happened https://1password.community/discussion/141544/google-1pw-beta-browser-extension-doesnt-present-my-passkey.
For now, I've just deleted the 1Password passkey from my Google account and from my 1PW login for Google. Maybe I'll try again if the 1PW folks announce that this behavior has been corrected, but until then I'm back to a password and 2FA. :-(

@oxalate yeah, I forgot to mention that the passkey will be re-created once you login again using your android device, signing out is not really a valid fix for this anyway. It's up for 1password team (1P_Dave) to figure this one out.
Question, you are doing all this on your android device correct? I was confused about you not being able to use the 1password passkey after removing the google autogenerated ones. But yes, if you are doing it on your android device, then you were doomed from the beginning because of the auto-generated passkey on login😅.

@rco, thanks; I didn't realise I needed to sign the Android device out.
I tried that, then logged out. When I try to log in again, Chrome prompts me to create a new passkey for Google, meaning that 1Password still isn't presenting my saved passkey. Meh.
