Sign in with a passkey

Use your fingerprint, face or device PIN instead of a password.

A passkey lets you sign in with the same fingerprint, face scan or PIN you use to unlock your device. It cannot be phished or guessed.

  1. Open Settings, Security.
  2. Choose Create a passkey and enter your password.
  3. Follow your device's prompt, then give the passkey a name you will recognise.

Next time, choose Sign in with a passkey on the sign-in page. A passkey counts as two-step verification on its own, so you will not be asked for a code as well.

Create one on each device you use. You can remove a passkey at any time from the same page.
