My passkey experience: so far a failure
Since all the passkey buzz started I'd been somewhat keeping track and learning about it with moderate enthusiasm; and when today I saw that it's implemented in the full public 1PW release, I thought...

Thanks for the reply!
Well, "not rolled out" would certainly explain why they don't work! By virtue of the passkey showing up visually in the login item, I thought it was supposed to work, and didn't think to check any further on their rollout status. I guess they show up for the sake of completeness of information, i.e., its existence is synced, though not yet functioning? If it was hidden, I suppose it would cause the opposite confusion. Anyway, now I know, but I suspect you'll soon be getting a plethora of users drawing the same conclusion as me. Perhaps the passkeys on not-yet-supported platforms, might warrant being highlighted in a special color and/or a notification explaining this, might be in order?
Also I hope I didn't come across as pooh-pooh-ing the passkey ultimate "vision." I would expect teething problems when first rolled out (and, as it turns out, before being rolled out! oops) and I am enthusiastic for the future where they are the norm, including for all the basic everyday stuff, in a smooth experience.
