Hate #passwords? Use #passkeys!
This new and easy way to secure your accounts removes the need for passwords by authenticating you with your device. Passkeys also provide a higher protection against #phishing attacks.
Here’s how to get started with #passkeys on #ProtonPass #Android, #iOS and browser extension. https://proton.me/blog/what-is-a-passkey
@protonprivacy I don't see this option on proton pass android app??
@domoore Here is a guide for the Android flow, keep in mind it requires Android 14 and a compatible web browser: https://proton.me/support/pass-use-passkeys#How-to-use-Proton-Pass-passkeys-on-Android
@protonprivacy thank you!
@protonprivacy Does Passkey work on Android 11?
@vibudanimsara Passkeys are only supported on Android 14+, as previous Android OS versions don't support passkeys.
@protonprivacy
This is this far the best explanation of passkeys I've seen.
What if it's a site that you want to visit on a device that you don't want/can't have Proton Pass/other passkey app on? eg. a work computer or a public library computer?
I have a feeling that I'm going to be seeing a lot of the latter at work as adoption becomes greater than understanding. Yahoo demanding 2fa from the app when the senior didn't bring their phone is fuuuuuun. The hardest part usually is them remembering their passwords.
Can username/password still be used? Or is there another way?
@protonprivacy I'm a bit confuse about passkeys. I currently use in on my google account, with Bitwarden. But how do I use it with Protonpass?
Do I somehow need to copy the passkey from Bitwarden to Protonpass? Or perhaps do an export and import?
Or can an account have multiple passkeys?
@uberprutser Hello! You can have multiple passkeys for a particular service.

@protonprivacy I know that this probably is a newbie question, but why it's a passkey more secure than a very long randomly generated password?
Despite the fact that the private passkey is not actually located on the server...
@ander_dapo Hi there, passkeys are phishing resistant as they only work on the originating website. You can't accidentally type your credentials into a fake website.
Passkeys are also strong by default, rather than relying on user generated password + setting up 2FA.
And as you mentioned, only the public key is stored on a services website.
@protonprivacy Thanks for the explanation!
@protonprivacy is available in free version ?
@andirsun Yes, passkeys are available on both free and paid plans.
