# Adding Passkeys

Configure passwordless login to MikoPBX using biometrics or hardware keys

**Passkeys** are a modern passwordless authentication standard based on WebAuthn technology. They allow you to log in using biometrics or hardware security keys instead of a traditional password.

#### What are Passkeys?

Passkeys are cryptographic keys stored on your device that replace traditional passwords with a more secure technology. The private key never leaves your device — the server only stores the public key, which is useless to attackers.

Supported authentication methods:

* 📱 **Biometrics** — Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello
* 🔑 **Hardware keys** — YubiKey, Titan Key
* 💻 **Built-in methods** — Device PIN code

Advantages:

* Protection against phishing and data interception
* Fast authentication in 1–2 seconds
* No need to memorize passwords
* Unique keys for each site

{% hint style="info" %}
Passkeys work in modern browsers: Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox (2023 versions and newer). WebAuthn support on the device is required.

### How to add a Passkey?

1. Go to **"System" → "General Settings"** → **"WEB interface password"** tab.

3. Follow the browser instructions to register. For example:

* Setting up a Passkey on a MacBook with TouchID in Safari: you can click "More options" and choose between a fingerprint, a keychain in an authenticator app, and a physical key:

After successful registration, the Passkey will appear in the list. On your next login, you can use it instead of a password.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.mikopbx.com/mikopbx/english/faq/management/passkeys.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
