Issues with macOS 26 Tahoe and Passkeys

Dear all

I have two issues with passkeys and macOS Tahoe:

  1. When I attempt to save a new passkey in Safari, macOS default handling of Passkeys butts in, despite having disabled all Autofill options in Safari settings.

     

    Ultimately, creating a passkey fails. My workaround is to use 1Password on iOS (26.0.1) to create the passkey. This works fine and the passkey is also synced to 1Password on my Mac.
    This brings me to issue number two.

  2. When attempting to sign in with a passkey, once again, macOS defaults to the following prompt:

    When I select scan QR code and scan the code with my iPhone I get the prompt to use 1Password on iOS to sign in:

    The sign in then works fine using 1Password.

With previously created passkey, I get the correct signup popup in the browser from the 1Password extension:



Also, to confirm, these are my system settings for AutoFill & Passwords:

Anyone else experiencing similiar issues with 1Password on macOS Tahoe? Or did I miss something and have some settings misconfigured?

Thanks
Kenneth

    Hello kgstaub​! 👋

    I'm sorry that you're running into issues when using passkeys. I see that the issue is occurring on swissid.ch in your screenshot and our development team is currently looking into an issue with passkeys on that specific website. Is this the only website where passkeys aren't working for you in Safari on your Mac? Or do they also not work on other websites? 

    Are you using a personal 1Password account or an account associated with your employer? If you're using a personal account then check the following:

    1. Open your browser.
    2. Right-click on the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar and click Settings.
    3. Make sure that "Offer to save and fill logins and other items" and "Offer to save and sign in with passkeys" is turned on.



    If those options are already on then can you check to see if you can save and sign in using a passkey on this test website: https://webauthn.io/

    I look forward to hearing from you.

    -Dave
