ModeratorPasskeys can provide the same level of security as password + two-factor authentication, with a lot less friction. It isn’t necessary to use a separate multi-factor authentication solution on top of a passkey. Passkeys cannot be remotely phished, socially engineered, or leaked. Those are the threats that two-factor authentication was designed to protect against.
If you'd like to continue using an account password, Secret Key, and your security key then you'll be able to continue to do so rather than using a passkey to unlock 1Password.
