We *need* Passkey export support (!)
It is a shame that nothing is being done here and update notes (at least for the Mac version) are misleading.

2 years agoThanks for sharing that article. 1Password is working to make passkeys are intuitive and accessible to users, both those using 1Password and those using other password managers through initiatives like the Credential Exchange Protocol (CXP) and the Credential Exchange Format (CXF) that 1Password is developing with our partners at the FIDO Alliance.
You asked why I would need to export my credentials: Well, for me, I want to be able to export all of my access credentials to a clean, app-independent format for a simple reason: Legacy. If something happens to me, my family would have a hard time getting access to all of my services and data - especially if they need to setup or re-install my actual OS/App setup beforehand. So I export my (unencrypted) 1password data to a PIN-secured encrypted USB-stick, securely stored offline.
Thank you for sharing your use case. Legacy planning is something that the team is looking into since we know that it's important to many people. Personally, I'd also like to see more options on passing on my 1Password account (or at least certain vaults) to family members in the event of an emergency. I've shared all of your comments and feedback with the team internally.
