How to Use Passkeys in mSecure 7

This guide walks you through how to create passkeys, add them to mSecure, and sign in using them. 


If you just want an overview of what passkeys are, see: What Are Passkeys?


What You Can Do With Passkeys in mSecure

mSecure lets you:

  • Store passkeys securely
  • Sync them across all your devices
  • Organize them with tags, templates, and vaults
  • Use them to authenticate with supported websites and apps

To learn how mSecure protects your information, see: mSecure's Security Model.


How to Create a Passkey

Passkeys are created in the security settings of a supported website or app.

Typical steps:

  1. Sign in to the account.
  2. Open Security, Password & Login, or Authentication.
  3. Select Create a Passkey or Set Up a Passkey.
  4. When prompted, choose mSecure (on platforms where it appears).
  5. Approve with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device PIN.


For platform-specific passkey creation guides, see the official documentation from:

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.
