Non-individual plans for Passkey Beta
The passkey sign-in beta has been running for a lone time, and sadly I could not find a single bit of info about any kind of roadmap for this feature. This is something that is keeping me from using 1Password, because I would need to use a Family/Team plan, but I also want to use login without passwords. 1Password seems to be advocating a lot for using passkeys instead of passwords, yet if I use 1Password, all my passkeys are protected behind a password that has to be easy to memorize and enter often.
I really get that this is a challenging feature to implement, but is there really no new updates on this? Or some timeframe - like are we talking about months or years?
And if it's not possible to release this feature any time soon, would it at least be possible to enable the different plans for the beta? Participating in the beta means you miss out on lots of features that are "locked" behind the non-individual plans (especially shared vaults), so I can imagine this is keeping many people from using the beta. I think and a lot of people waiting for this would happily just migrate their existing plan to inside the beta if it was possible. Since the general communication around this seems to be that a release of this feature is still planned, support for more plans seems like a next step in the beta that could be really useful to a lot of people, and also increase the number of people actively testing the beta.

Hello fxshlein! 👋
Welcome to the community! I don't have any news to share about the passkey unlock beta, the latest information can be found here:
- Unlock 1Password with a passkey (beta)
- Now in beta: Create and unlock a 1Password account with a passkey
Based on the feedback received from the beta, there are a few different issues and improvements that the team is planning to roll out before passkey unlock functionality is expanded further.yet if I use 1Password, all my passkeys are protected behind a password that has to be easy to memorize and enter often.
Can you expand on this a little further? Your items in 1Password are protected using both your account password and a randomly generated Secret Key: About your Secret Key
Even if someone knows your account password, they would be unable to access your 1Password account on a new device without also knowing your Secret Key. You can avoid entering your account password each time that you use 1Password by enabling biometric unlock so that you can unlock 1Password using your face or fingerprint instead.
