What is a Passkey?
A passkey is a secure and convenient way to log in to your AirJIT account without needing to enter a traditional password. Passkeys are typically linked to biometric data, such as your fingerprint or facial recognition, stored on your personal device. This technology offers a seamless login experience while maintaining a high level of security.
Benefits of Using a Passkey
- Enhanced Security: Passkeys are more secure than traditional passwords because they are tied to your device and cannot be easily guessed or stolen.
- Convenience: You can quickly log in to your AirJIT account without needing to remember or type in a password.
- Reduced Risk of Phishing: Since passkeys do not require you to enter a password, they minimize the risk of falling victim to phishing attacks.
How to Set Up a Passkey on AirJIT
- Log in to Your AirJIT Account: Start by logging in to your AirJIT account using your current username and password.
- Access Login and Security Settings: Navigate to the "Login and Security" section under your account settings.
- Enable Passkey: Look for the option to set up a passkey. Follow the prompts to enable passkey authentication on your device.
- iOS/Apple Devices: You can use Face ID, Touch ID, or a similar biometric authentication method.
- Android Devices: Use fingerprint recognition or any biometric security feature supported by your device.
- Authenticate with Biometrics: You will be prompted to authenticate using your device's biometric security feature (e.g., scan your fingerprint or face).
- Passkey Enabled: Once the setup is complete, you can now log in to AirJIT using your passkey instead of a traditional password.
Managing Your Passkey
- Device-Specific: Remember that passkeys are specific to the device on which they are set up. If you change devices, you'll need to set up a new passkey.
- Backup Options: Ensure you have a backup login method, such as your regular password or 2FA, in case your device's biometric feature fails or becomes inaccessible.
