Software developer AgileBits has announced full support for the upcoming passkey protocol, the passwordless login credential that Apple has begun transitioning to. The company has announced its efforts to incorporate this feature into 1Password for iOS.
Over in its blog, AgileBits explained that once a new passkey key been created on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’ll be able to choose where to store it. The passkey can either be synced between devices, locked to a specific device, or only support syncing within a specific ecosystem. 1Password, in turn, will let you use your passkeys on any device and any major browser.
Passkeys can then be shared with anyone by placing them in a shared vault or placed in item sharing for short-term access.
In the current 1Password beta apps, the Watchtower feature will notify you when one of your existing accounts can be secured with a passkey. An on-screen prompt will explain where your new passkey will be stored. If you already have an account with the website, you’ll see an option to update your current credential with the new passkey or save it as a new one.
Changes to passkey can also be synced across devices and are available in 1Password for Mac, iOS, Windows, Android, and Linux.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
