Paypal passkeys in Germany - offered but not supported
As of today here in Germany, I found Paypal is offering Passkeys to me.
However, if I try to create one, Paypal says my device isn't supported. Which is a surprise for me, since I'm running Window...
Only Apple mobile devices are supported by 1Password, as far as I read about it.
Unfortunately not. Only on desktop. Mobile requires iOS 17 (due next month).
So due to the stupid limitation imposed by PayPal (mobile devices only) you can only add a passkey in iCloud Keychain; not in 1Password.
While I don't recommend this, I did find a workaround: if you choose User Agent "Safari -- iOS 16.4 -- iPhone" in Safari's Developer menu on your desktop, PayPal thinks you're on an iPhone and you can use 1Password to create a passkey! Disadvantage: it will list the 1Password passkey as "iOS - iPhone Safari", identical to the passkey actually stored in iCloud Keychain.
