Passkeys are a modern authentication method designed to replace traditional passwords, private keys, and seed phrases. They use cryptographic keys stored securely in your device’s native password manager to authenticate your identity, eliminating the need to remember or enter passwords. This enhances security and simplifies your experience.

When you create a new account with Pass App, you automatically generate a passkey associated with your Apple ID, Google account, or email address. To use your passkey, simply use your device’s unlock feature, such as Face ID, Touch ID, or PIN, to securely sign in and confirm transactions without the need for passwords. This seamless process ensures both security and convenience.

Yes, passkeys offer advanced security features that make them highly resistant to phishing attacks and impossible to lose. Unlike private keys or seed phrases, which can be vulnerable to theft or loss, passkeys provide a more secure and user-friendly alternative.

Only you have access to your passkey. Your passkey is stored securely in your device’s native password manager and is encrypted, ensuring that only you can use it for authentication.

Because your passkey is stored securely in your device’s native password manager, it can’t be stolen, intercepted or replicated by attackers. Unlike private keys, passkeys can’t be tricked out of you—there’s nothing to type, copy, or share, which makes phishing attempts ineffective. This ensures that your credentials remain secure, even in the face of phishing attacks.

Thanks to passkeys, you won't lose access to your account even if you lose your device. Since your passkey is automatically synced to your operating system’s password manager, you can access your Pass App account by signing in to your Apple or Google account on a new device.

If you have Pass App’s Fallback Recovery enabled, you can regain access to your account. This feature allows you to regain access to your wallet when your original passkey is not available because you deleted it or switched operating systems.

You can enable Fallback Recovery by verifying up to five phone numbers as secure backups. If needed, a recovery code will be sent to one of your verified numbers, allowing you to quickly regain access to your wallet.

Biometrics are security features that use unique physical traits, such as facial recognition or fingerprints, to verify your identity. Enabling biometrics on your device allows you to securely access your Pass App wallet and approve transactions with just a glance or a touch. This adds an extra layer of protection by ensuring that only you can use your passkey, making your account even more secure and convenient.

Yes, Pass App is a non-custodial smart wallet, meaning you have total control over your assets. Your passkey is stored securely in your device’s native password manager and is encrypted, ensuring that only you have access.
