What is a Passkey? #
A passkey is a modern, secure way to sign in to your Da Capo Inventory account without using a password.
Instead of typing a password, a passkey uses the same secure method you already use to unlock your device or browser, such as:
- Face ID or Touch ID
- Windows Hello
- A device PIN
- A trusted password manager (such as Apple Keychain or 1Password)
Passkeys are:
- More secure than traditional passwords
- Resistant to phishing
- Easier and faster to use—no passwords to remember or reset
Once a passkey is registered, you can use it to sign in on supported devices and browsers. You may register more than one passkey (for example, one on your laptop and one on your phone).
Important: Passkeys are stored securely on your device or in your authenticator/password manager. Da Capo Inventory never sees or stores your biometric information.
