A passkey lets you sign in with the way you already unlock your device. There is nothing to type, and a passkey only works on the site it was made for. You can add one per device.
Steps
- Open Settings from the avatar menu in the top right (on a phone, the Account tab).
- In the Passkeys card, click Add a passkey.
- Enter your Current password to confirm it’s you.
- Give the passkey a Name (optional), such as “MacBook Touch ID”, so you can tell your passkeys apart later.
- Click Create passkey and follow your device’s prompt: Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello or a security key.
Good to know
- Next time, choose the passkey option at sign-in. Your password still works.
- A passkey also counts as a second factor, so sign-in is one step.
- If a browser says it doesn’t support passkeys, use a current version of Safari, Chrome or Edge, or sign in with your password there.
Try it
The demo page has a vault you can click through. Open it on Settings and try these steps there; nothing you do is saved.
