Passkeys are a newer, safer way to sign in to apps and websites without having to remember a password. Instead of you typing something, your device creates a special digital key that stays securely on your phone or computer and can’t be guessed or stolen like a normal password. When you want to log in, your device uses Face ID, a fingerprint, or another device unlock method to confirm it’s really you, and then signs you in automatically. This makes passkeys both easier to use and much harder for hackers to break into, because the real secret key never leaves your device.
If you have a smartphone that unlocks with facial recognition or a laptop that uses your fingerprint, that’s the same technology that makes passkeys work. Passkey functionality has now been added to Paflyfish. You can still use your regular username and password, but once you set up a passkey, you’ll be able to log in just by using Face ID or your fingerprint, depending on the device. For example, you can log in to Paflyfish from your phone using Face ID after your passkey is set up. You’re likely already using passkeys in some of your other apps or accounts without realizing it.
To set up a passkey for your Paflyfish account, go to your username in the top-right menu, then select Preferences > Passwords and security. On the right side of the screen, you’ll see a new box with a “+ Add passkey” button. This is where you can add your passkey. Make sure the device you’re using already has a passkey method set up (like Face ID or fingerprint unlock), and then you can add it to your Paflyfish login and other supported sites.
Key Takeaways
1. You do not need to do this
2. Your account is still safe here as it was before
3. This is not for everyone, just those that understand passkeys, have them setup already and want to apply this security feature to their account on Paflyfish.
4. Under no circumstance will we be able to support you setting this up.
5. Read number #4 again
