About Passkeys
What is passwordless passkey authentication?
Chek utilizes passkeys for secure account and card access. Passkeys are renowned for their exceptional level of security and resilience against phishing attacks. A passkey serves as a secure digital key that functions as an alternative to passwords.
Your Chek account passkeys are associated with your device as a form of credential, removing the dependence on passwords that can be easily compromised. By using biometric authentication methods such as fingerprints or facial recognition, you can effortlessly access your account without the need for intricate passwords.
What are the benefits and security enhancements of using passkey over traditional passwords?
Passkeys offer several advantages over passwords:
- Enhanced security: Passkeys provide a higher level of protection against phishing attacks and data breaches compared to traditional passwords.
- Increased convenience: No more struggling to remember or reset forgotten passwords. With passkeys, a quick biometric scan grants access.
- Improved user experience: Passkeys are faster and easier to use, particularly on mobile devices, enhancing overall user satisfaction.
- Convenient across devices: Your passkeys are securely stored on your device, allowing easy login to Chek from any compatible device.
- Modern and future-proof: Passkeys represent the future of secure logins, and Chek is an early adoptor in this innovative technology to ensure the privacy and protection of your data.
Can I use passkey authentication on both the web and mobile platforms?
Yes! Majority of browsers and devices are compatible with passkey authentication. You will need to have a passkey created for each browser and device you would like to access your account from. Check out our Browser and Device Compatibility Guide to see which services and devices are compatible with passkeys.
Do I need to install any additional software to use passkey authentication?
Nope! There is no requirement to install any extra software for passkey authentication. It is seamlessly integrated within the Chek platform's existing system.
Are passkeys more secure than passwords?
Passkeys provide enhanced security in comparison to traditional passwords. Here are the reasons behind this:
Resistant to phishing: Passkeys eliminate the need to type or transmit sensitive data, rendering them immune to phishing attacks that target password theft.
Elimination of password leaks: Passkeys are not stored or transmitted online, preventing the possibility of data breaches that could expose your login credentials.
Enhanced encryption: Passkeys employ advanced cryptographic methods that render them nearly unbreakable, even for highly skilled hackers.
How does Chek protect my data and privacy with passkeys?
Chek places a strong emphasis on data security and privacy. When utilizing passkeys, we do not store your biometric information. Instead, we associate a unique encrypted key to your account, which is saved (or never with the one-time passcode) exclusively on your personal device.
This approach ensures the highest level of security and privacy for your biometric data.
