How to use a Passkey outside of a web browser?
I’m considering using 1Password for passkeys but I don’t understand how to use it outside a web browser? on my phone 1Password shows up even in apps, but it doesn’t seem to on my Mac?
Thanks for the reply. That's correct, there isn't currently a way to use a passkey saved in 1Password to sign into a desktop app on macOS without using 1Password on your mobile device.
That being said, I've filed feedback with our product team on your behalf that you'd like to see such a feature be added in the future. 🙂

Yes, I am aware I can use my phone.
I just want to confirm there’s no way to do it directly, like I would with the Passwords app or Microsoft Entra passkeys?
Using my phone adds an extra step of getting out my phone, scanning, and waiting for the Bluetooth to connect. I don’t understand why this is so complicated?
Regardless, thank you for confirming there’s no option to use it directly from 1Password on device.
