Passkey CR - Allow 1P To Scan QR Code
There are many times when I am browsing in some browser (like Safari, Edge, etc.) and the site recognizes that one or more passkeys have been created for the site and it pops up a prompt asking fo...
Thank you for explaining your use case! The team is currently exploring macOS AutoFill which sounds like it would fit your needs for these edge cases where 1Password in the browser isn't available. With macOS AutoFill, you would see the 1Password desktop app as an option right along with "iPhone, iPad, or Android device" and "Security key" in the prompt in your screenshot.
I'll pass your comments and request to our product team. Thank you for the feedback!

ModeratorHello snoringelephant! 👋
Thanks for reaching out! The QR code is only meant for other devices to scan it, it's not designed for a password manager (like 1Password) to scan it on the same device.
When signing into a website in the browser on your Mac, the website will send a webauthn request and 1Password will respond to that webauthn request by showing a prompt that you can click to sign in with your passkey:
In your case, it looks like 1Password isn't receiving the webauthn request since you're seeing a prompt from macOS itself. Can you tell me the following:
- Do you have 1Password installed in all of your browsers: Download 1Password for your browser
- Is the built-in password manager turned off in all browsers using these steps: Turn off the built-in password manager in your browser
If those two steps look good then can you share the specific Microsoft website that you're trying to sign into so that I can try to reproduce the issue on my end? And are you signing into a personal Microsoft account? Or a work/school account?

1P_Dave - any thoughts on my reply? I tried to answer your questions and demonstrate my use case. Thanks.
