Passkeys Not Working on Android – Always Falls Back to Google, Despite Troubleshooting

Hi 1Password team and community,

I'm a long-time 1Password user on Android, and while password autofill works perfectly, passkeys have never worked for me except for one random instance (can't recall the app). Currently, passkeys fail across all my browsers and apps, always falling back to Google's password/passkey manager with no apparent way to bypass or force 1Password.

Here's what I've tried:

  • Browsers: Brave, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox – no passkey autofill or creation in any of them.
  • Apps: Tested in various passkey-supported apps, but it always defaults to Google.
  • Troubleshooting: Uninstalled/reinstalled 1Password, cleared cache, toggled autofill settings in Android (set 1Password as default autofill service), and reset passkey manager preferences. I'm using the latest 1Password version available on Google Play Store (v8.10.x or newer).
  • Device: Samsung S25 Ultra running Android 15.

It's super frustrating as I'd love to use passkeys for better security, but I'm at a loss here. Has anyone else seen this issue, especially on Android 15 or Samsung devices? Any fixes, workarounds, or known bugs? Would appreciate any help!

Thanks

    Experiencing the same issue on multiple apps, the passkey flow just seems clunky and unpolished. Would it be possible to simply allow users to deactivate this security check? It's always the same error that pops up whenever it fails, always has to do with the URL. If we could simply allow it to connect it'd solve this issue. Doesn't make sense that it takes months to fix something as trivial as this. It's really hurting the UX. I just want something that works constantly, and if it does fail at least have the option to bypass it and not be blocked by something like the URL. As a user I should be able to make those decisions.

      I'm sorry that you're running into multiple issues with passkeys, I've merged your posts together into one thread. Regarding the issue in your initial post, are you still seeing the same problems with the latest versions of Android and 1Password for Android? There have been quite a few improvements to autofill in the last few updates which might have improved the situation. Let me know if you're still seeing that issue today.

      The security warning can be caused by multiple different issues, if you're seeing the warning in multiple apps then we'll need to investigate those separately. Are you able to share the name of the other apps, aside from Costco, where you're seeing the passkey security warning?
