Passkeys — Faster, Safer Logins for Coinhako

Passkeys — Faster, Safer Logins for Coinhako

Passkeys are a safer, faster alternative to passwords. With a passkey, you can sign in using your device’s built-in authentication (Face ID, Touch ID, PIN, or security key) without needing to remember complex passwords.

What is a Passkey?

A passkey is a secure, device-based login method that replaces your password with your device’s built-in authentication — Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello, or a PIN.
Benefits
  1. One-tap login — no need to type your password
  2. Phishing-proof — works only on Coinhako’s real app/website
  3. Device-based — stored securely on your phone or computer

How to set up a Passkey

  1. Go to Profile & Settings -> Passkey -> Add Passkey
  2. Complete 2FA verification
  3. Choose your preferred sign-in option
    1. Face ID / Touch ID (Apple)
    2. Windows Hello (Windows)
    3. Fingerprint or device PIN (Android)
    4. Password managers: LastPass, Bitwarden, Passwords, etc.
    5. Security key
  4. Once confirmed, your passkey is securely linked to your account.
  5. You’ll see a confirmation message — with the option to view your passkey list.

Using Passkeys to Log In

Next time you sign in:
  1. Select Log in with passkey on the login page.
  2. Approve your device’s biometric or PIN prompt.
  3. You’re in — no password needed.

Managing Passkeys

Go to Profile & Settings → Passkeys to:
  1. Rename a passkey (to remember which device it belongs to)
  2. Remove a passkey (if you no longer use that device)
Note that removing a passkey does not delete your account. You can still log in with email + password.

Tips

  1. Make sure you have 2FA enabled before setting up a passkey.
  2. Add passkeys for devices you use regularly (e.g., phone, personal laptop, work computer).
  3. If you get a new device, add its passkey before removing the old one.

FAQ

Q: Can I use multiple passkeys?
Yes, you can register more than one (e.g., on your phone + laptop + security key).
Q: Do I still need my password?
Yes, keep your password safe — you may need it if you switch devices or reset security settings.
