What is a passkey?

A passkey replaces your password entirely. Your device (phone, tablet, or computer) proves who you are using your fingerprint, face, or PIN — nothing to type, nothing to forget.

Unlike passwords, passkeys are stored only on your devices, not on our servers. They are impossible to guess, steal via breaches, or reuse.

Why passkeys are more secure

• Cannot be stolen in data breaches — we never store your passkey, only a harmless public key. Even if we were hacked, your passkey stays safe.
• Cannot be phished — a passkey only works on the real website. Fake login pages simply don't work.
• Cannot be guessed — passkeys are long, random cryptographic keys, far stronger than any password you could create.

About iCloud and Microsoft accounts

Passkeys are stored in end-to-end encrypted storage (Apple iCloud Keychain or Microsoft's equivalent). Apple and Microsoft cannot read them — they only hold an encrypted copy that only your devices can unlock.
