Hello jjnxpct​! 👋

Thank you for the detailed report! When you save a new passkey for a website, that you already have a passkey saved for, you should see 1Password offer to update the existing Login item: 

A few things need to be true: 

  • The username for the passkey needs to be the same as the previously saved passkey.
  • The website URL for the passkey needs to be the same as in the previously saved passkey.
  • You won't be prompted to update the existing item if you previously saved a hardware security key as a passkey and you're now saving a passkey for sign-in. 


Are you able to reproduce the issue on https://webauthn.io/? Can you share the website where you are seeing the issue?
