Unable to save passkeys on both Mac and iPhone

Where I try it, (MacOS, iPhone) or whatever browser I use (Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Brave, Arc), every time when I want to make a Passkey on a supported website, like PayPal, I get this message: "...

Yes, my iOS and 1Password setup is correct. The thing is, I eventually could setup as Passkey for PayPal...., in the PayPal app, that is. I have to admit I was amazed not seeing this one coming.
This Passkey resides in iCloud keychain, or whatever it's called these days, but not in 1Password.

Anyway, when I open the PayPal login site in Safari on my iPhone I see the option to login with this Passkey. That works. Sort of. Because, after enabling the login with the Passkey I am asked for my 2FA code nonetheless. I thought that shouldn't be necessary anymore if using a Passkey.

And the other issue that persists is how to get this Passkey in 1Password. For Safari on iOS is not offering this. And I don't need to try it on my Mac because PayPal claims that my Mac and browser aren't suitable to make Passkeys.
