Passkeys
Passkeys provide a secure and easier way to sign in to the Paxos Dashboard. With passkeys, there are no passwords to remember and no two-factor authentication. Under the covers, when you add a passkey you are creating cryptographic key pairs for Paxos Dashboard: one key is stored on the Paxos server and the other is stored in your password manager or on your device. When you sign in with a passkey, the Paxos server ensures you are using the correct passkey.
There are numerous ways to use passkeys; however, we recommend using a password manager that can sync across multiple devices for the most portable experience.
Start by contacting your IT organization. Your company may already have policies for using passkeys and can provide support when creating and using a passkey.

Recommended: Use a Password Manager
We recommend saving and using passkeys with the following password managers in conjunction with a compatible browser. Third-party password managers may require you to create an account and install additional browser plugins/extensions. Check with your IT organization if you have any questions about password managers.
If you can't use any of the recommended password managers, use a password manager that allows for passkey synchronization across devices.
Before creating a passkey, check with your IT organization and the user documentation for your particular device for policies, procedures, hardware requirements and restrictions.
