Passkeys

What is a passkey?

Passkeys are a modern replacement for passwords, offering a faster, easier, and significantly more secure way to sign in to your account. Instead of remembering complex character strings, a passkey uses cryptography and biometrics (like your fingerprint or face scan) or a simple screen lock PIN on your device (phone, laptop, etc.) to verify your identity.

Adding a passkey to your account
