PayPal and Passkeys
Thanks for the link edit--I was aware that I had left my email address un-redacted. Just relying on 1P password generation strength :-) As long as you had a chance to view the screen capture...
Your questions:
- Safari auto-fill settings are mostly set as you define (I leave "auto-fill my contacts" turned on)
- Auto-fill passwords & passkeys is (and was) turned off.
Regenerated passkey:
- Opened 1P and went to edit mode. Deleted existing passkey for PayPal.
- Logged in to PayPal (used my OTP from 1P as usual)
- Navigated to the PayPal passkey settings--oddly, there were none visible.
- Generated new passkey, 1P asked to update the appropriate PayPal record.
- Huzzah?
- Turns out that I had forgotten to save my changes in the 1P application when I deleted the original passkey, so I was still in edit mode. The new passkey did NOT actually save into 1P--probably because edit mode was active?
- 2nd time was the charm--re-regenerated the PayPal passkey and it saved properly in 1P.
- Login with passkey now works (though PayPal still asks for OTP, but I would guess that's on their end, and I don't want PayPal to trust the browser).
So some guesses...
- Perhaps ausernie has the same problem that I did, and has a passkey in 1P, but NOT actually on the PayPal site.
- Unexpected behavior with the browser extension trying to update a 1P record while that same record was open and being 'edited' in the 1P application.
Thanks for prodding me to double-check the PayPal side of things!
Best,
Brad
