    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!

Once again, I am handcuffed by the fact that I am storing my passkeys in 1Password because I do not see what you described as:

I still believe my original CR would be (dare I say) a better way to handle this scenario.  In other words, allow 1Password to scan the QR Code being offered by the above prompt and use it for authentication by selecting a new option to scan the passkey authentication QR Code.  I think it could look something like this:

I don't know what the status is for the team:

1P_Dave​  - Can you provide an update and also perhaps suggest this as another option?

Thanks.
