Unlock a faster login experience with Passkeys

Logging into your account should be quick, secure, and effortless. That’s why we’ve made some important improvements to our Passkeys feature—a more efficient and secure alternative to traditional passwords or two-factor authentication (2FA). 

If you’re still using a password or 2FA to sign in, now is the perfect time to upgrade to Passkeys for a smoother, safer login process. Here’s everything you need to know about this feature and how you can set it up for your account.

Why use Passkeys?

Here’s why Passkeys are a smarter choice for your sign-in experience:

1. Easier authentication

No more juggling complex passwords or fumbling through 2FA codes. Passkeys allow you to log in with just a PIN, fingerprint, or facial recognition.

2. Better security

Passkeys eliminate risks like phishing and password leaks. They’re stored securely on your device or password manager and cannot be shared or intercepted.

3. Faster logins

Say goodbye to delays. Passkeys streamline your sign-in process, letting you access your account in seconds.

What are Passkeys?

Passkeys are a secure alternative to passwords. Unlike traditional credentials, Passkeys are tied to your device and protected by advanced encryption. Think of them as your personalized, secure key—whether it’s your fingerprint, face, or PIN.

Where are Passkeys stored?

Passkeys can be securely stored in:

• Password managers (e.g., Google Password Manager, iCloud Keychain) for easy use across devices.
• Security keys (e.g., YubiKey), offering local-only storage for extra security.

How to set up Passkeys

Step 1: Access the Passkey settings

Visit your account’s security settings to enable Passkeys.

Step 2: Create your Passkey

Follow the guided steps to create a Passkey using your device’s built-in biometric authentication (like fingerprint or facial recognition) or a PIN.

Step 3: Save and manage your Passkeys

Once created, your Passkeys are securely stored and can be managed via your device or password manager.

Helpful Tip: You can create multiple Passkeys for different devices, making it easier to log in no matter where you are.

Additional security measures

To ensure maximum security, we’ve introduced additional safeguards:

• 2FA required for password logins: if you’ve set up a passkey but opt to log in using a password, you’ll be prompted to use 2FA as an added layer of protection.
• Passkey authentication for password resets: When passkeys are enabled, you’ll need to authenticate with your passkey to reset your password.

These measures ensure your account remains protected, even if you occasionally fall back on traditional methods.
