What is 1Password in the Browser?

I looked at the website and I'm still not clear what "1Password in the Browser" actually is.

Is it the browser extension that works alongside the desktop 1Password app to autofill logins? Or is it an alternative to the desktop 1Password app?

    Passkeys are little bit of a grey area while folks get used to them. Post in either and we can move it. Generally speaking I always post filling questions to 1Password in the browser. That said, sometimes the questions is about getting access to them from other devices or browser, then you'd fall into Mac most likely.

    tl;dr Post and we'll catch you. ;)

    Ah OK thanks 1P_Tommy. So if I have a question about using passkeys with both the 1P browser extension and desktop app running on a Mac, which forum should I ask it in?

    Yes, the browser extension for most folks. However, if you do not have the desktop app installed it can work independently.
