1P_Dave, I was referring to the fact that I am unable to use passkeys when using Firefox. I've been using the 1P extension for years with no issues.

Whilst I have you, I am somewhat concerned that I've had to remove MFA from my PayPal account in order to use passkeys seamlessly.

That's great if I am able to login with my passkey stored in 1P, e.g., when using Safari. However, I don't see any way to completely remove my password from my PayPal account so that the only way I can authn is using a passkey and only a passkey.

Doesn't that introduce a scenario where my PayPal account could be compromised?

BTW, due to these concerns I have reinstated MFA and now have to provide MFA as well as passkey.

To my way of thinking, it sort of defeats one of the primary reasons for moving to passkeys.

I've attached a screenshot of the PayPal prompt I encounter when using Firefox. There's no option to authn using passkeys so I end up using my password. :-(
