Adding Passkeys to mSecure

When you create a passkey, your device asks where to save it. To store it in mSecure, choose mSecure when prompted - your passkey is then saved to your vault and synced across all your devices. 

• iOS and Android: When the system save sheet appears, select mSecure.
• Mac and Windows: When prompted to choose a passkey provider, select mSecure. 

How to Sign in Using a Passkey

Once a passkey is stored:

1. Visit the login page of the service.
2. Choose Sign in with a Passkey.
3. mSecure (or your OS) will suggest the stored passkey.
4. Approve the login with biometrics or device PIN.
5. You're instantly signed in. 

Tips for Transitioning to Passkeys

• Start with high-value accounts (emails, cloud storage, banking).
• Keep your existing passwords until you've confirmed passkey login works.
• Add new passkeys to mSecure as more services support them.
• Review your login methods periodically to see what can be upgraded.
