    Hello ProratedMongoose! 👋

    Thanks for reaching out! Is there a particular reason why you wanted to turn off passkey support for 1Password in Safari? Passkeys are the future of authentication and I would recommend upgrading to passkeys wherever possible: Save and sign in with passkeys in your browser

    That being said, you can turn off passkey support by following these steps: 

    1. Open your browser.
    2. Right-click on the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar and click Settings. 
    3. Click Autofill & save.
    4. Turn off "Offer to save and sign in with passkeys".


    If you're an administrator for a 1Password Business membership then you can also turn off passkeys for your entire team using app usage policies.

also late to this party  Dave but my concern is when the Passkey is a W11 Hello biometric, and the biometric does not recognized my face, the backup is a PIN XXXX, 4 digits only.  Pretty easy to break it seems.  What am I missing.

Also, not real clear how to disable this for just 1Password master account login.

Welcome to the community! Whether its for signing in with a passkey or a password 1Password unlocks the same way. If you'd like to avoid being able to unlock 1Password for Windows using a pin code then you can either turn off Windows Hello unlock for 1Password or you can remove the pin code as a sign-in option for Windows Hello itself.

Let me know if I misunderstood.
