How to use passkeys at Stake.us

Updated this week

We prioritize the safety and security of all our users at Stake.us, which is why we now allow you to sign in using a passkey. This secure and convenient option offers an alternative to the traditional passwords, email addresses, and 2FA login options.

What is a passkey?

A passkey is a type of login method that enhances online account security while also being easier for you to access. Passkeys are developed by major tech companies such as Apple, Google, and Microsoft, as well as the Fast Identity Online (FIDO) Alliance.

Rather than using a password with letters, numbers, and symbols, passkeys randomly generate a unique code. This code is then accessed when you unlock your device using biometrics (such as fingerprint or face ID) or a PIN.

Benefits of passkeys

  • Your passkey can’t be guessed or cracked.

  • Attackers can’t gain access to your account through data breaches.

  • The device you use to sign in must be close to the device that holds your passkey.

  • You don’t have to remember unique passwords for each site you use.

  • Passkeys are designed to be used on specific websites, meaning you won’t be able to log in to a fake or malicious site.
