Passkeys as part of estate planning

Hello TheMacMommy, thank you for your reply. On behalf of my colleague, you're very welcome.

To confirm, are you using the passkey unlock beta for your Password account or just saving a passkey and using that passkey to sign in to other websites and service providers?

I can't say how long other service providers will continue to offer passwords and passkeys. Passkeys are still in the early stages and there's a long road ahead. If you’ve saved a passkey for a website or service provider in 1Password then that passkey will always be available in 1Password on all of your devices. If you delete that passkey, or if you lose access to 1Password, then websites will usually have a recovery process that you can use. Reach out to the specific websites that you’re using for more details about their recovery process.

For questions about Apple’s app-specific passwords, I recommend reaching out to Apple. Here's a direct link to their support page -> https://support.apple.com/en-ca.

As Dave mentioned in his post, if you’d like to ensure that your executor or loved ones have access to your passkey unlock account in the event of an emergency, you’ll need to provide them with both the recovery code for the passkey unlock account and the login credentials for your email account since use of the recovery code requires that a verification code be sent to the email address associated with your passkey unlock 1Password account.

That being said, passkey unlock accounts are still in beta and I’ll let the team know that you’d like more estate planning options.

Should I look into a YubiKey to be stored in a safe with the 1Password recovery code?

Can you clarify what the security key is being used for? Have you saved a passkey to the security key? If you have then for which website/service?
