QR Code Passkey
I am not sure if this is enabled or possible atm. But is there a way to scan a QR Code to import a new passkey?

Hi there 1PassForum
Right now, 1Password can save new passkeys directly through the browser extension, but can't import them from anywhere else.
Luckily, a lot of websites supporting passkeys support multiple passkeys, so you may well be able to sign in, go to your account settings or similar, then add another passkey, which 1Password can save for you. :)

I think i found the answer in a different thread i will close this once i read it over again. I believe it says this function is not available until later this year. If that is the case please let me know
Bump... 2026 and still not possible, it appears? There is an option in the iOS app for "Scan QR code" under profile pic menu, but once it "successfully" scans the QR code on MacBook screen, for example, and turns green, nothing happens; it's just stuck there. This workflow is weird anyway and shouldn't be necessary—you ought to be able to add passkey via QR code screenshot scan in the same way that 2FA OTPs can be added with screenshot scan of displayed QR code. I.e., should be able to set up the new passkey signing on the MacBook's own 1password when getting that prompt in a browser on the laptop—shouldn't require a secondary device to scan.
