Store 1password passkey in Bitwarden?

I am a fan and promoter of 1password and currently do not use Bitwarden or any other manager. I am also a fan of Yubikey's Bio Series: I have successfully created and tested a passkey beta account...

I would suggest just looking at 1Password directly rather than using Bitwarden here. I'm not sure what Bitwarden brings to the table in this setup, besides the fact it has non-beta (?) passkey-to-unlock functionality?

I took a look at Bitwarden's passkey-to-unlock support and it's not nearly as good as 1Password's. With 1Password you use the passkey to unlock; you don't need a password anymore. There is no hidden 'password' that appears sometimes. Not true with Bitwarden, in many circumstances you'll end up prompted for the Bitwarden password, not the passkey, in various parts of the interface. You can't use it with "just a passkey."

You might be struggling with the lack of support for both biometric + PIN together with the Yubikey Bio. That is indeed a current limitation of the Bio Yubikey. You might want to contact Yubikey and voice support for PIN + biometric - I know I'd certainly like it.
