How Passkeys Work
Passkeys use your device's biometric system (Face ID, fingerprint, Windows Hello) to authenticate. There's no password to remember, phish, or steal. They are stored securely on your device and synced through your Apple, Google, or Microsoft account.
Setting up takes under 2 minutes in your banking app's security settings. Security experts call passkeys "the single biggest improvement in consumer security in a decade."
