Thanks for the followup post about Raycast, I'm glad that you were able to solve that mystery.

Is 2fa.directory also the source for "passkeys available" reports in Watchtower? I noticed today that GitLab was not flagged in Watchtower as having a passkey available even though a passkey can be setup on GitLab.

The 2FA tag shouldn't affect the passkey banner. Is it possible that you ignored the passkey banner in the past? You can check your ignored warning here:

  1. Open and unlock the 1Password for Mac desktop app.
  2. Click Watchtower.
  3. Scroll down and click Show Ignored Alerts.
  4. Click on the relevant item and then click Restore Alert.

Let me know if that doesn't work.
