Passkeys — Passwordless Sign-In
What a passkey is, why it's more secure than a password, and how to set one up to sign in to Pilotbot with your fingerprint or face.

A passkey lets you sign in to Pilotbot with your device's fingerprint, face, or screen lock — no password to remember, type, or leak. It's built on the FIDO2/WebAuthn standard, the same technology banks and major platforms use for passwordless login.
Why Passkeys Are Safer
- Nothing to steal. A passkey never leaves your device as a reusable secret, so there's no password for anyone to phish or guess.
- Phishing-resistant. A passkey only works on the real Pilotbot site — a fake look-alike page can't trick it.
- Fast. Signing in is a single touch or glance.
What You Need
A device with a screen lock or biometric — a modern phone, tablet, or laptop, or a hardware security key. Your device securely stores the passkey; Pilotbot only keeps the public part, which can't be used to impersonate you.
Step 1 — Add a Passkey
In your account security settings, choose to add a passkey. Your device or browser will prompt you to create one.
Step 2 — Confirm with Your Device
Approve with your fingerprint, face, or device PIN. That registers the passkey with your Pilotbot account.
Step 3 — Sign In with It
Next time you sign in, choose the passkey option and confirm with your biometric or device lock — you're in, no password needed.
Using Passkeys and 2FA Together
A passkey is already a strong, phishing-resistant login. You can also keep two-factor authentication enabled for password sign-ins as a belt-and-braces approach. Set up whichever combination gives you confidence.
