Sign in with a passkey

Add a passkey

1. Open Settings → Security → Passkeys

   Click Add a passkey.

2. Confirm it is you, if asked

   If you signed in more than 10 minutes ago, confirm with your password, a code from your authenticator app or a passkey you already have.

3. Save the passkey where you want it

   Your browser asks where to keep it: this device, your phone, or your password manager. Unlock it with your fingerprint, face or PIN.

The passkey appears in the list with the name of your password manager when DNSPeek recognises it, or your browser and system otherwise. Click Rename to call it something you will recognise, such as “Work laptop”. You can add up to 20 passkeys, for example one per device or password manager.

Sign in with a passkey

On the sign-in page, click Sign in with a passkey and pick your account in the prompt. You do not need to type your email. In browsers that support it, your passkeys also show up when you click the Email field.

A passkey already proves two things: that you have the device and that you unlocked it. So DNSPeek does not ask for a two-factor code afterwards, and a passkey sign-in counts as two-factor authentication for workspaces that require it for admins.

Confirm sensitive changes with a passkey

Some changes need a recent sign-in: turning two-factor authentication off, new recovery codes, adding or removing passkeys, and changing allowed IP addresses. When DNSPeek asks you to confirm it is you, choose Passkey and unlock it, instead of typing your password or a code.

Remove a passkey

Click Remove next to it in Settings → Security → Passkeys and confirm. It stops working at once, and other devices that signed in with it are signed out (the one you are using stays signed in). The confirmation offers Sign out other sessions too, for devices that signed in another way. Also delete the passkey from your password manager or device settings, so it is not offered again.

Security emails

We email you when a passkey is added to or removed from your account, and when a new device signs in. If you did not add a passkey yourself, remove it right away, change your password and sign out the sessions you do not recognise.

Lost the device with your passkey?

Sign in another way: with your password (and your two-factor code or a recovery code), or with Google. Then remove the lost passkey in Settings → Security. If you cannot sign in at all, contact support from the email address of your account. After confirming it is you, support can turn off two-factor authentication, which also removes all your passkeys.

Resetting a forgotten password with the email link, or a new password required by support, also removes all your passkeys and signs out every device: whoever made the reset necessary might hold one. Add your passkeys again after you sign in.
