Passkey
In Turkish: Geçiş anahtarı (passkey)
A way to sign in with your fingerprint, face or device PIN instead of a password. It cannot be typed into a fake site.
A passkey is a pair of keys: the public half sits with the service, the private half stays on your device and is unlocked by your fingerprint, face or PIN. There is no secret to type, so there is nothing for a phishing page to steal.
Passkeys can be kept in your phone, computer or password manager and may sync between your devices. Not every site supports them yet, so you will use them alongside passwords for a while.
What to do
- Create a passkey where a service offers one, starting with email and your phone account.
- Keep your device lock strong, since it now unlocks the passkey.
- Keep a recovery option in case you lose the device.
