Hello Rgrin! 👋

I'm sorry that passkey unlock isn't working on all of your devices. 1Password requires Android 14 or later to save and sign in with passkeys, can you check to see if you're running a compatible version: Check & update your Android version - Android Help

Only apps with built-in passkey support are compatible with 1Password at this time.

On my Windows laptop using the Brave extension 2.19.0, it DOES allow me to add a new passkey into 1Password. When I set up the new passkey, it gives me the option to Add or Update. However, Watchtower does NOT show passkey-amenable sites.

Are you using the 1Password for Windows desktop app? If you are then you should see Watchtower flag Logins that you can save a passkey for by clicking on Watchtower in the sidebar and then Passkeys available. If you don't yet have the desktop app installed then you can find it here:

I hope that helps!
