Hey r/1Password
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 11.As 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!
