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​

  1. Log in to Your AirJIT Account: Start by logging in to your AirJIT account using your current username and password.
  2. Access Login and Security Settings: Navigate to the "Login and Security" section under your account settings.
  3. 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.
  4. Authenticate with Biometrics: You will be prompted to authenticate using your device's biometric security feature (e.g., scan your fingerprint or face).
  5. 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.
