What does Ryan Reynolds backed 1Password want to do?

The company announced that it will provide the choice of creating and unlocking 1Password accounts by using the biometric-based passkey technology. Steve Won, who is the CPO of the company, also opened up about it. He revealed the passkey would definitely replace all passwords. By bringing in new technology, the company is contributing a great deal to the security of data.
