1Password knows that it will take centuries for passwords to disappear even if a password-less future is already here.

1Password has embraced it: https://blog.1password.com/passkeys-are-coming-to-1password/

While I'm not sure how they've integrated it so far, I imagine browsers will either implement a plugin API for extensions to handle passkeys, or 1p can override the webauthn api and fallback to the browser when a website is authenticating.

Passwordless future definitely wasn't here just 1-2 years ago. The management of WebAuthn Discoverable Credentials / Resident Keys was so fucking awful on every platform I tested them on.

You want to clear your Resident Key for a website on Windows? Command-line.
