Instead of using a password to log in to your Groups.io account, you can set up passkeys. A passkey is a secure alternative to a password. Passkeys use your device’s biometric authentication (Touch ID, Face ID, Windows Hello) or security keys.
You can set up different passkeys on different devices. Passkeys remain on the device and are never shared with websites or apps, making them resistant to cybersecurity attacks.
To set up a passkey:
- Display your account settings page.
- Desktop browser: In the left menu, select Security.
Mobile browser: Tap the More icon at the bottom of the page, then tap Security on the More menu.
Note: On a mobile device, you must use a browser to set up a passkey. It is not possible to set up a passkey in the Groups.io mobile app. - On the Security page, in the Passkeys panel, click or tap the Add Passkey button.
- In the Add Passkey popup, enter a name for the passkey and then click or tap the Add Passkey button.
- Complete the prompts to choose a device (if applicable) and save your passkey to the device. The passkey is now listed in the Passkeys panel on the Security page.
To delete a passkey, follow steps 1 and 2 above, then click or tap the Delete button next to the passkey you want to delete.
