Revisiting minor details of Passkeys

The "Don't sign in automatically option" is the solution when using the 1password extension. The design of the website is the key as to when you need to set the option because the web page more or less dictates the way the 1password extension behaves as it sees the login form boxes and responds according to the presentation sequences in the order they are presented.

ModeratorHello rickapel! 👋
Thank you for the questions! In general, websites shouldn't prompt you to save a new passkey if you've already saved a passkey for that website. Are you able to post a screenshot of what you see when this happens? And can you share where you've seen this recently?
When a passkey is created, a public-private key pair is created. The public key is stored on the website's server and the private key is stored in your 1Password vault. That private key is protected using the same end-to-end encryption that protects your passwords and other items. This allows you to use the passkey on all of your devices.
