3 years agoPasskeys-like Support?
I know Apple has been trying to push Passkeys or passwords-less sign-in for a while now. After the features introduced in WWDC, it seems like this year it will take off. Is there a plan for 1password...

3 years agoHi folks! Thanks for these questions, I'm happy to speak to this.
This might come as a surprise to some, but we welcome passwordless approaches for authentication. Our goal is make it easier and more secure for you to do whatever you need to do - regardless of what kind of prompt is on the website in front of you.
As Gilles mentioned, that's part of why we've joined the FIDO Alliance. And as the video embed in the blog post shows, we've already started working on a feature that will let you use 1Password as a WebAuthn device for passwordless logins. And we're continuing to look at more ways to support whatever login methods you need.
Which honestly to me is a relief, because last week (and this is a true story) I lost 20 minutes of a busy morning to a website that had multiple login options and very little in the way of guidance on how any of that corresponded to the initial user setup process. 😑 If I could have auto-filled with 1Password, that would have removed a heck of a lot of friction. And we look forward to providing that kind of solution for you!
So, whatever the fate of passwords may ultimately be, we'll be here to:
- help you boost your online security
- secure and keep track of your digital stuff
- get you where you're going online
By the way, if you haven't checked it out yet, I'd recommend taking a peek at https://www.future.1password.com/ for a preview of where we're headed. We think that what's coming next is pretty exciting, and we hope you will too. 👀
