In Locker, a security key can be used to replace a Password. Using a security key to sign in eliminates the need for users to remember Passwords and provides users with stronger security.

Add a security key

First, you will need to add a security key to log in to Locker with this method. You are able to add up to 4 keys for an account.

6. After successfully authenticating your key, you will see the new key appear on the security key list. Now you can use your security key to log in to Locker.

Enable login sync on the same computer

When login sync is enabled, if you sign in on the desktop app, your account will be signed in to the web app and extension on the same computer and vice versa. You also don't need to authenticate your security key when you access your account again on that computer.
