Login with passkey
Login with passkey is an authentication method that lets users sign in with biometrics or a PIN on their device.
Passkeys work together with other login methods: the project must keep at least one other login method enabled (classic, social, or passwordless), which serves as a fallback. If a passkey is saved on the user’s phone, they can sign in on another device by scanning a QR code with the phone.
Passkey login requires a compatible device and operating system.
Currently, a user can create only one passkey.
How it works
A passkey is created once, after which the user can sign in with it on the same or another device. Below are possible user scenarios.
Create a passkey
- The user signs in with any usual method (classic, social, passwordless).
- The login widget prompts the user to create a passkey.
- The user confirms the creation with biometrics or a PIN.
- The passkey is linked to the user.
Sign in with a passkey
- The user chooses Use passkey in Login Widget. The button appears if passkeys are enabled for the project and supported by the browser and the device.
- The browser offers the passkeys saved on the device.
- The user confirms with biometrics or a PIN.
- The user is authenticated.
Sign in on another device
- The user chooses Use passkey on the device where the passkey is not saved.
- The user scans the QR code shown by the browser with the device where the passkey is saved.
- The user confirms with biometrics or a PIN on the phone.
