Overview
A passkey is a secure, passwordless way to sign in to your Metal Pay account. Instead of using a password, passkeys let you log in using:
- Face ID or fingerprint
- Device PIN
- A secure password manager (like 1Password)
Passkeys are more secure because they:
- Cannot be phished
- Are unique to your account
- Keep your sign in credentials safely on your device
Getting Started
Before setting up a passkey, make sure you:
- Have an active Metal Pay account
- Are logged in using your email/phone number and password
- Have biometrics (Face ID, fingerprint) or a passkey-supported password manager set up on your device
