1Password TeamOfficial Release: 1Password now supports Windows 11 Passkeys!
Hey 1Password Community!
I’m incredibly excited to announce that 1Password for Windows now supports the native passkey API on Windows 11! As of today, we’re the first and only third-party passkey manager to offer native Windows passkey support in stable.
1Password will now show as a passkey provider within the Windows 11 Settings app under Accounts > Passkeys > Advanced Options.After 6 months in beta and working hard to address all your feedback, today’s the day we finally bring desktop-level support for passkeys on Windows 11. No browser, no problem. You’ll be able to seamlessly sync and manage passkeys on Windows, with 1Password as your credential manager. We’re also introducing an improved onboarding flow to enable 1Password passkeys on Windows 11 to better meet you where you are.
We're introducing a new onboarding flow to make it easier to enable 1Password as a passkey provider on Windows 11As previously mentioned during beta, this integration requires the MSIX version of 1Password for Windows. It uses the MSIX technology to better support all the functionality Windows 11 offers, including system-level passkeys.
We’ve already begun the process of migrating nightly and beta users to the MSIX build, and we’re starting to migrate those on stable today. If you’d like to get a jump start, you can download the latest version of 1Password for Windows below.
To try out the new passkeys feature on Windows:
- Ensure you are on the most up-to-date version of Windows 11.
- Download the latest version of 1Password for Windows here.
- Enable the passkey feature in your desktop app through the new onboarding prompt, or with Settings > Autofill and enabling the Show passkey suggestions setting.
- You should be redirected to enable 1Password as the system authenticator. If not, enable System Settings > Account > Passkeys > Advanced options. Then, enable 1Password using the toggle.
As of today, the ability to use passkeys is available to all Windows 11 users. We’d again like to thank the Windows Security team for partnering with us so closely in order to get this out the door. Try it out and let us know what you think!

We’re in the middle of migrating to Intune and are enrolled in your business plan. Will we need to provide values for these new features in both Windows and 1Password environments? If so, Will you have any OMA-URI, settings, or registry-based related values available for windows and 1password?
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/windows-itpro-blog/windows-11-expands-passkey-manager-support/4467572Can you help me understand more specifically when this is useful? I am already using 1P for passkey storage for all sites I visit. What is a use case where I would be storing/using a passkey when NOT in my browser?

In your case, most of the time this would be for desktop applications that offer passkey support on Windows. Discord is probably the main one I use with the new integration. Think of the integration as a way to make sure you have 1Password coverage no matter where you prefer to use your apps - in the browser or on the desktop.
