Login with Passkey

Tutorial: A secure password or passphrase (usually easier to remember) is great. Adding two-factor authentication provides an extra layer of security. However, the full password is still transmitted over the network during login and could, in theory, be intercepted.

What are Passkeys?

The FIDO login method with Passkeys eliminates the need to transmit passwords. Authentication is handled via biometrics, PIN, or pattern — depending on the device being used.

A Passkey consists of two parts: a private key stored securely on your device, and a public key stored, for example, on a website.

When logging in, the website requests verification from the private key on your device, which confirms the login using the configured security method—such as Face ID on a phone or Touch ID on a laptop.

1. Activating Passkey

On the login screen, enter your email address and password, then select the checkbox and log in. After a successful login, the Passkey setup dialog will appear.

2. Passkey created

The login was successful. The system dialog may look different depending on your operating system. The example shown below is from Firefox on a Mac.

Confirming the dialog securely stores the password on your device.
You are now logged in and have successfully activated Passkey.

3. Logging in again

For future logins, simply click Login with Passkey to sign in without entering your password.

Good to know: The traditional login with username and password remains active and will continue to work. On your own device, login via Passkey is now also available.
