Hello andeke07! 👋

Thank you for helping test passkey unlock in the 1Password beta! If you've saved your passkey for 1Password in iCloud Keychain then iCloud Keychain must indeed be turned on in Safari for that passkey to be used.

The best workflow for now, if you'd like to keep the passkey in iCloud Keychain, is to turn iCloud Keychain on whenever you're prompted for a passkey and then turn it back off otherwise. When the 1Password desktop app is installed, you'll usually be able to unlock 1Password using biometrics (or your Apple) rather than having to use your passkey each time.

That being said, the passkey unlock feature is still in beta and I've passed your experience along to the team so that they can consider how this workflow can be improved in the future before the feature graduates from beta.

Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with. 🙂

-Dave
