Passkeys also use biometrics, but they allow us to go farther and eliminate the underlying password entirely.īy replacing passwords with passkeys, 1Password will be able to preserve the benefits of biometrics while eliminating the need to ever use a password to access the app’s data, no matter what platform you use. That’s why 1Password asks you to type in your password periodically in order to ensure that you have it memorized. 1Password was the first third-party iOS app to offer Touch ID, all the way back in 2014, and since then we’ve added support for Face ID, Windows Hello, Android Fingerprint, and more.īut as convenient as biometrics are today, they don’t actually replace the password they only mask it. It’s something we do every day using biometrics. Now, unlocking 1Password without a password is nothing new.

The company explains how passkeys differ from the way the app works today: 1Password’s new passkey feature is coming this summer.
