Unlock 1Password X without desktop App and passkey
Hi all, one question - how can I unlock 1Password in the browser, when the 1PW.com cloud is passkey protected? It would be a bit annoying when I all the time would do need to process the QR code thin...

Thanks for the question! The easiest way to unlock 1Password in the browser is to also have the desktop app installed so that the browser extension and the desktop app share a lock state. You'll then be able to unlock 1Password in the browser using biometrics instead of having to use the passkey each time:
- Use Touch ID to unlock 1Password on your Mac
- Use Windows Hello to unlock 1Password on your Windows PC
If you don't have the desktop app installed then you'll either need to scan a QR code using your mobile device or use the provider that you've saved your passkey to on your desktop device. For example, if you're using a Mac then you can use iCloud Keychain to sign in into 1Password using your saved passkey.
Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂
