Passkeys
What is a passkey?
A passkey is a login method that replaces traditional passwords with device-based authentication such as fingerprint, face recognition, or a local device PIN. It’s built on the FIDO2/WebAuthn standard and helps reduce common risks like phishing and credential theft.
How do passkeys compare to passwords?
Passkeys work differently than traditional passwords:
They are unique to each account and bound to your device.
They use biometric or PIN verification on your device instead of something you type.
Because of this, they are less vulnerable to phishing and credential reuse.
How Do I Enable a Passkey on My Account?
Log into your exchange account, click the Settings button in the top right corner, and select Security, under the Passkey section, click Enable.
Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app linked to your account, and click Add Passkey.
Select your browser’s password manager, or set up your device fingerprint or a PIN to save your passkey for use on backpack.exchange.
Then follow the on-screen instructions based on your selected method.
