and the steps are:

1. Go to your service of choice, let's say twitter - Elon Musk's platform you know:

2. Click "More" - the last button before tweet blue button - you need to stand the Polish screenshots:
   

3. Click "Settings and help/support" - or something similar - last option:
   

4. Click "Settings and privacy" or similar:
   

5. Click "Security and account access" or something similar and then "Security" or something similar:
   

6. Click "Second factor settings" or something similar:
   

7. Add a new security key - I will assign a new one by clicking "manage your security keys" or something similar. Your path may differ:
   

8. "Add new security key":
   

9. Type your password:
   

10. Click get started:
    

11. Click add key:
    

12. In case of timeout in any given point click "close" and begin from point 11.
    

13. Click cancel to that request:
    

14. Click "add new phone":
    

15. Make sure bluetooth is on.
    

16. Voila

@znaczki65 Did you try enabling opera://flags/#biometric-authentication-for-filling? It adds an option to use Windows Hello, or the equivalent on your OS, when you are logging in to a site.

@leocg After turning it on and restarting Opera GX the issue remained.

@znaczki65 The red square was supposed to be a QR Code? If so, they are working on a fix

@leocg It has been a month exactly. Nothing changed except the prompt:

Are they really working on that? The QR code is still RED. Can't use passkeys for more than 3 months of their release.

@leocg I have the same problem. You can't bind a pass/security key using Opera or Vivaldi either. I went to the manufacturer website and it was stated just works with Edge, Google Chrome and Firefox. The three browsers that I can't stand.

@znaczki65 several of the security keys list what browsers they work with. It's only the 3 lamest ones... Edge Firefox and Google. Yubi has their own catalog that you can see what sites you can bind your key to. I wish Opera was able but as of yet, no they're not

@leocg Wha-hoooooo! Thank you: that seems to have fixed it! Opera is now my go-to browser!

Thanks!

@bigbaldbob My enthusiasm was misplaced: it still does not allow 1Password to open biometrically.
