Passkeys, like passwords or SMS, are a form of authentication and verification. Unlike passwords or SMS, passkeys are securely stored on a device that can only be unlocked with biometrics or a PIN or authenticated by another device you own. The authentication process requires physical access to the user's device, adding an extra layer of protection against remote attacks.
Setting up your passkey
When performing some account actions that require an OTP confirmation, such as changing password, changing security type, or withdrawing funds from your Personal Area (PA), you will be prompted to confirm your action with a passkey or text message.
- Select Create passkey, then hit Create passkey once more.
- Verify a passkey's creation with your face, fingerprint or pin.
- Once verified, a passkey will be saved on your device.
- A code will be sent to your current security method to confirm the usage of passkeys for your withdrawals.
You can view and delete your passkeys from your Personal Area (PA) in your Settings under 2-step verification.
