   I love Passkeys, and also believe that Passkeys will, eventually, eliminate my need for 1Password (which I like — but would like to not need!). macOS/iOS Passkeys automatically sync to all my devices, they’re not a text string, they just work.

   So, imagine my surprise when I just went to create a Passkey for Nintendo, and found that 1Password blocked and hijacked the system Passkey prompt… in favor of their own.

   Just a convenience? Or artificial lock-in to protect 1Password’s future? Hmm

     The ONLY situation I think I would want this is if I was both an Android user AND a frequent PC user — in that case, 1P would be handy for Passkeys. But I’m not an Android user, and when I use my PC, I can already use Passkeys via my iPhone!

     I really hope I can turn this off, and continue to just use 1P for “legacy passwords”.
