Testing passkey support. Is it supposed to be this difficult?
What I read was that I could log in with biometrics on another device, but my experience leaves a bit to be desired:
Trying to log in with a device that already has 1Password installed is seamless...

Thank you for reaching out. So that I can better undertstand the situation, and advise appropriately, can you tell me:
- Are you trying to sign into 1Password itself using a passkey?
- Are you trying to sign into other websites/apps on a device that doesn't have 1Password installed?
Or are you trying to do something else?
Also, I can change the default passkey and password provider in iOS (Home screen -> Settings -> Passwords -> Password Options, then enable or disable password/passkey providers), but not on Mac OS, which has the same menu and options, but the only provider is iCloud Keychain.
1Password on the Mac doesn't use the "Autofill & Passwords" feature in macOS System Settings so you won't see it listed there. Instead you can fill and save logins using either 1Password in the browser (our browser extension) or using Universal Autofill:
If you don't see 1Password in Safari then try the steps in this article: If you don't see the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar
Let me know if that doesn't work. π
