Passkeys not working on PayPal, Keycloak, and Ebay
I started going through some websites and testing the new beta extension as soon as I got the email and came across 2 sites where the passkey creation prompt did not appear.
These were:
- PayPal (got stuck in "finding your security key...")
- An instance of Keycloak
With the extension disabled these show the browser setup flow as expected.
1Password Version: 8.10.7
Extension Version: 2.12.0
OS Version: Linux 6.3.5-arch1-1
Browser:_ Google Chrome Beta 115

Ebay - i got mine working. :) :) However, I did have to FIRST remove the existing Fingerprint/Pin login method. (i think this was somehow the same PKC as fido2 method but done directly via windows hello being called by the browser, not using 1P.)
After turning it off. i then logged out and turned it back on, 1P asked to saved the Passkey. all good and working on login.
F-ING fantastic actually !!!!!!!!!!!!I don't see this on mine. I don't have a PIN or anything either. I tried to look, but it wanted me the verify myself with a text all the time. i got fed up and signed out.

Don't remember where on the PayPal site I found it, but I did find a note that passkeys aren't available for business accounts yet, just personal accounts. That may also be what's behind the problem some people are having with creating a passkey with PayPal.

Also tried to add a passkey to PayPal.
Instead of adding the passkey PayPal deleted all existing 2FA factors... (TOTP and YubiKey)
So be careful!
(after a lot of trouble I was able to setup 2FA again, but not the YubiKey or a passkey)

Regarding PayPal. I did a https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=paypal+passkey&ia=web and the first hit was this help article: https://www.paypal.com/us/cshelp/article/what-are-paypal-passkeys-help997 which explains a lot. Note that if PayPal changes the
/us/part of the URL to your local language, it will probably show article not found, at least it did for me when it automatically switched to/se/.According to the article you have to configure a passkey from a mobile device and you do that during the login process. There's also a paragraph about current platform support.
Which technology providers support Passkeys?
Today passkeys are supported by Safari and Chrome web browsers on Apple devices running iOS 16, iPadOS 16 macOS Ventura, and google devices running Android 9+. Passkeys are not supported on web views and windows devices. On a Windows device, the user will have to use a password or SMS OTP as a way to log in.
Before I found that article, I poked around in my account and found a setting under https://www.paypal.com/myaccount/security/ > 2-step verification > Add a device, where there was a single option called Use a security key. But when I clicked on it, it just says Finding your security key, as it did for tonkku107. Since the "add security key" method isn't mentioned in the article above I'm guessing it's to be used with a physical FIDO key.
There's also https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/Managing-Account/It-s-many-articles-that-PayPal-suport-Passkeys-now-But-how-to/td-p/2999372 in their community forum.

Microsoft account did not list passkey as an option either
Which browser did you try? For me Microsoft didn’t list secure keys when using Safari, but did for Chromium (in my case Brave) and I think Firefox.
There’s a few services where setup is worth attempting in another browser if your primary browser fails for whatever reason.

My eBay account does not show the Face/fingerprint/PIN sign in option, so I seem to be out of luck. Any insights? Microsoft account did not list passkey as an option either, just their own Authenticator app

OK, DUMB QUESTION Incoming.... i cannot believe the day has arrived where i ask this...
Can I turn off 2FA /MFA if i am now using a passkey? 🙋♂️
I leave it on for 1P itself, but isnt the passkey tied to my devices because 1P is tied to my existing devices. Ie ebay does not have to be concerned about a new device logging in, because its relying on 1P 's trust network of my devices now?

Greetings, I'm a USA based user, and I see nothing on eBay or PayPal about passkeys. eBay level 1 support told me today in a chat they are not implemented, and they don't have a date for them. PayPal I have sent a message to support, I'm waiting to hear from them. I think the directory of passkey-enabled sites from 1Password is wrong, maybe that's based on their perception as developers, but it's totally different for retail users.
