#1Password is a password manager so mostly it’s used to store your regular passwords. It gets installed as either a separate app or an extension loaded inside your browser. I only installed the browser extension. Your passwords and now your #passkeys are synchronized by encrypting them locally and sending the encrypted data to 1Password. When you install the same extension on another computer or mobile device you get your encrypted data back and (after entering your master password again) they are available on that device too. It’s slick. Definitely test it out!

#Yubikey is not really related, it’s more like a USB memory stick just for one-time passwords, certificates, and other advanced security uses. You might want to get one if you’re looking for that extra level of security, but honestly the number of web sites and applications that support Yubikey and security keys is small right now. Passkeys is going to definitely help power up their business, but most people won’t need one
