How to see passkey sites in WatchTower?
I see that passkeys are now in the production release as of the browser version 2.15 as announced (https://releases.1password.com/b5x/stable/#whats-new). The announcement indicates that we can "start by finding a site that supports passkeys. You can do this by browsing our passkey directory, or by opening Watchtower in 1Password, which now flags all of your existing logins that could be updated with a passkey."
I have the Windows production release of 1password 8.10.15 (current as of today) and the Watchtower does not mention Passkeys. I signed into the web at my.1password.com and my Watchtower also does not mention passkeys. Is there a trick or setting that I am missing?
How do I see passkey supported sites in the Watchtower?
1Password Version: 8.10.15
Extension Version: 2.15.0
OS Version: Windows 11
Browser: Chrome

Hi jayhouse,
I apologize for missing this reply of the holidays. I appreciate you letting me know this URL is the same you were using and that the reset did not help.
Using this example for Github (https://github.com/) could try creating a new item and copy/paste those details over from the existing imported item? Does this newly created Github item now display the passkey Watchtower banner?
If does, I'd like to ask to follow those same steps of creating a new item for one other imported item. Does this also start displaying the passkey Watchtower banner as expected?
I'm looking forward to your reply.

Hello and Happy New Year, jayhouse!
Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry you're still seeing troubles here with Watchtower displaying available passkeys in 1Password for Mac.
It look as though you may have encountered a known issue with Watchtower. This seemed to be affecting some users on Windows and Linux devices. Since you mentioned it's happening with 1Password for Mac as well, I'd like to get some additional details over the to the development team. Could you create a diagnostics report from your Mac:

I've also just copied your example to see if it was anything to do with the item being imported but that doesn't work either.

Hello jayhouse,
Thanks for your message. I'm sorry you're having troubles with Watchtower detecting items with available passkeys.
I ran a quick test by adding a test login for Github (https://github.com/) and the passkey banner appeared immediately:
Could you confirm the URL you have listed for this item and does changing help?
Additionally, now that you imported all of your data, can you confirm it's available to you when you are signing in to 1Password.com? I'd like to suggest the above noted steps of resetting your database on one device to see if it helps.
I'm looking forward to your reply.

I'm seeing this as not working on any device. Only been using 1Password for a few days, imported all my passwords from various other services. Running the latest version of the app and browser plugins on Mac, iOS and iPadOS. I have a github account password and 2FA stored in 1Password, Github offer Passkeys, I have CHeck for Passkeys ticked in Privacy settings yet Watchtower is not telling me Passkey is available on Github, or any other website for that matter.
