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

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.
