What are passkeys?

Passkeys are a form of authentication similar to passwords. Compared to passwords however, passkeys are more convenient, more secure, and phishing-resistant.

Depending on what device you're using, you may set up a passkey that'll allow you to sign in using your fingerprint, face ID, PIN stored on a password manager, or other means instead of typing in your username and password.

Note that it's still important to keep track of your username and password for account recovery purposes.
