1Password has announced that starting this summer, you'll be able to sign in and unlock your vaults using a single passkey.

Starting in summer 2023, you can say goodbye to your 1Password account password and hello to passkeys! All you'll ever need to sign in to your 1Password account, unlock your vaults, and securely access your data, is your one passkey.

The company notes that unlike user-created passwords, passkeys are strong and unique by default. They're generated and stored on your devices and are not shared with its cloud service. Passkeys have a full 256 bits of entropy to prevent cracking and provide even more protection than 1Password's Secret Key. They'll be portable between devices and platforms and are safeguarded by biometrics and hardware-level security.

Here's some of the benefits coming with passkey unlock...

● Create a 1Password account without a password or a Secret Key.
● Sign in on new devices with ease.
● Use your phone to unlock 1Password on your Mac, PC, and in the browser.
● Accelerate onboarding for enterprise users, or friends and family.
● Use built-in biometric authenticators everywhere you use 1Password including on the web.
