Passkey Shortcut
When prompted to use a passkey to sign into a website, is there a keyboard shortcut to accept and sign in with the prompted passkey? If not, it would be great if one was added.

Hi!
That would be extremely useful, especially for scenarios where 1Password is locked. When it's unlocked, usually you can just click Enter/Return, but that's not always the case (e.g. Auth0, where the e-mail field has autofocus, stealing focus from 1Password extension).
I find myself very often in the following scenario: the website prompts for the passkey, but 1Password is locked. So, I have to navigate with the cursor, click the unlock and only then I can click "Sign In" in the 1Password passkey prompt.
There are some workarounds for keyboard navigation, like Cmd+Shift+X, Touch ID, Escape and Return/Enter, but that's tedious and hardly user-friendly.
I have two propositions:
1. Make it possible to enable automatic prompting for biometric unlock (like Touch ID) when 1Password is locked and prompted for the passkey (e.g. the way passkeys work in Safari) or
2. Add an "Unlock 1Password" shortcut (the opposite of Lock 1Password, Cmd+Shift+L), which would ask for Touch ID.
Some details on the software stack: 1Password 8 (the latest), macOS, Brave/Google Chrome.
Best Regards,
Jakub
