How to set up and use a passkey
Add a passkey to your Flinq profile, use it to sign in and recover access safely.
Written by Katrin Erb Updated Published Add a passkey to sign in to Flinq using your device's fingerprint, face or device PIN instead of entering your Flinq password. A passkey is a credential designed to resist phishing because your device verifies the Flinq sign-in site before using it.
Before you start
Use an up-to-date version of Chrome, Edge or Safari on a device that supports passkeys.
Sign in to Flinq and open your own profile.
Be ready to confirm the passkey using the security method offered by your device.
Add a passkey
Open the user menu and select Profile.
Under Passkeys, enter a recognisable Device name.
Select Add passkey and complete the device prompt.
The new passkey appears in your profile with its device name. Add a second passkey on another device when possible so you have another route if the first device is unavailable.
Sign in with a passkey
Open your Flinq workspace login page.
Select Sign in with a passkey.
Complete the fingerprint, face, device PIN or other prompt shown by your device.
A successful passkey sign-in does not require a separate Flinq two-factor authentication code.
Remove one of your passkeys
Open Profile and find the passkey you no longer use.
Select Remove and confirm the warning.
The removed passkey can no longer sign in to Flinq. Add it again if you want to use that device later.
Recover passkey access
If every enrolled passkey is unavailable, contact an administrator who can manage your user. After confirming the request directly with you, the administrator can reset all passkeys and send a one-time setup link to your account email. The link expires after 60 minutes and can be used once. Set up a new passkey from that link before trying to sign in.
