Did you know that you can export your saved data (including passkeys!) from Apple Passwords to another app on your iPhone or iPad? Top level of the app, ... menu, “Export Data to Another App”.

And you can export your saved data (including passkeys) from 1Password to another app on your iPhone or iPad, too! Top level of the app, user avatar, Settings, Advanced, Start Export.

Folks from 1Password, Dashlane, Bitwarden, NordPass, Apple, and Google collaborated on a data interoperability standard (CXF in FIDO Alliance) to make this possible. Building on top of that, iOS has first-class support for migrating that standardized data between apps.

Not all apps will support all of the data that’s possible to be transferred, but this really might help you switch from one app to another. There’s no need for a desktop computer and a CSV file, and those CSV files never supported migrating passkeys. The OS support for this exists on Mac, but third-party apps have been slower to adopt it.

Everything I’ve said here is public information and available to use on your i{Phone,Pad}OS 26 devices today.

@rmondello Good to know!

Passkey adoption question for you:
I just upgraded a Mac from Sonoma to Sequoia and the first screen required a AppleID login - there was no way to get to 1Password from that screen. Does that change if I used a passkey? In my non-Passkey world I brought up 1PW on another device and typed my password - what would happen with passkeys?

You can generally skip the AppleID login during setup, and enter it in Settings after the onboarding/first boot stuff has completed, so you can get to other apps. Doesn’t apply if restoring from iCloud backup.
