What are Passkeys?

Passkeys are a replacement for passwords. While a password is something you memorize and type in, a passkey is a public-private key pair stored on your device, unlocked with biometrics or a device PIN.

Devices that support Passkeys

You can create passkeys on the following devices

  • Laptops or desktops running Windows 10, macOS Ventura, or ChromeOS 109 or later.
  • Mobile devices running iOS 16 or Android 9 or later.
  • Hardware security keys supporting the FIDO2 protocol, such as YubiKey or VinCSS security keys.

Using passkeys across multiple devices

Passkeys created on iOS or iPadOS can be used on:
  • The same iPhone or iPad where they were created.
  • Other iPhones, iPads, and Macs signed in with the same Apple ID (synced via iCloud Keychain).
  • Other devices using cross-device authentication: Windows (Edge/Chrome), Chromebook, Ubuntu.
Passkeys created on Android can be used on:
  • The same Android device where they were created.
  • Other Android devices signed in with the same Google Account.
  • Other devices (iPhone, Mac, Windows) by scanning a QR code.
