Unlocking 1password with passkey on yubikey
As it says in the title, will it be possible in the future to unlock 1password with a passkey stored on a yubikey?

2 years agoThank you for the reply. I don't see an obvious reason why the Yubikey Bio wouldn't work but I don't have one to test myself. If you do run into any issues then let me know and I can dig deeper.
Will it eventually be possible to use two of my Yubi Bio keys as the sole means for passkey unlock (password less access to my 1P) of my vault and in general authentication of my 1password?
Yes, you can add your security key to your passkey unlock account and use that security key to unlock 1Password. Once you've added multiple security keys, you can remove the passkey that you've saved in your platform provider.
Also is it ok to transfer my vault to beta program or would it be considered risky?
Passkey unlock is currently in beta which means that you might run into more quirks and issues than what is usually expected. And things might change as our developers continue to iterate. However your data is still safe and protected using 1Password's encryption and security.
To avoid being locked out, and losing access to your data, I recommend that you save a recovery code right after you create your test account: Unlock 1Password with a passkey (beta)
Let me know if that answers your questions.
