## 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](https://passwordless.vincss.net/authenticator/).

### 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.
