Signing in with a passkey

Sign in on the Colitu website with a fingerprint, face or device PIN instead of typing a password; adding and removing passkeys, and the limits.

A passkey is a way to sign in without typing your password: your browser asks for your fingerprint, face or device PIN. The private key never leaves your device; Colitu's servers keep only the public key.

Adding a passkey

  1. Open colitu.com/account/security (Account → Security).
  2. In the Passkey section, click Add passkey.
  3. Give the passkey a name (for example "MacBook") and enter your password in the Current password field. Adding a passkey asks you to confirm your password.
  4. Click Create passkey and confirm as your browser asks (fingerprint, face or PIN).

You can add up to 10 passkeys; delete one to add another. A device cannot register a second passkey for the same account.

Signing in with a passkey

On the login page click Sign in with a passkey and confirm the browser's prompt.

  • A passkey with user verification (fingerprint, face or PIN) counts as two factors, so you are not asked for a verification code, even if two-step verification is on for your account.
  • A sign-in from a country not seen in the last 90 days still asks for the code sent to your e-mail, even with a passkey.
  • A sign-in may send a security e-mail to your address; see Account security.

Deleting a passkey

On colitu.com/account/security click Delete next to the passkey and confirm with your password. A deleted passkey can no longer sign in; you may also need to remove its entry from your device. You receive a security e-mail when a passkey is added or removed.

Limits

  • Passkeys work on colitu.com only. They do not work on mirror domains; sign in with your password there.
  • The Colitu apps sign in with e-mail and password (and two-step verification) as before. You can also sign in to an app by approving the device-link QR code from a browser that is signed in with a passkey.
  • If your browser does not support passkeys, use an up-to-date browser.
