How to sign in without a password using a passkey

Adding a passkey in settings, signing in with fingerprint, face or PIN, passkeys synced across devices and removing the passkey of a lost phone.

Who it's for: everyone using Buildinio, especially people who sign in on their phone on site.

What you'll do: add a passkey and sign in with your fingerprint, face or device PIN, without typing a password.

Before you start

  • Passkeys are on every plan.
  • You need an up-to-date browser: Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox.
  • Biometrics stay on your device. Buildinio never sees them.

Steps

1. Add a passkey

  1. Go to Settings → Security.
  2. In Passkeys, click Add a passkey.
  3. Confirm with your Buildinio password. If you don't remember it, choose to confirm with a code from an e-mail.
  4. Confirm with your fingerprint, face or device PIN.

The app may also offer a passkey after you sign in: Sign in with your fingerprint or face. Click Turn on.

2. Sign in with a passkey

On the sign-in screen, click Sign in with a passkey and confirm on your device.

3. Manage your passkeys

  • Each passkey shows when it was added and last used. Change its name with Rename.
  • A passkey marked synced lives in iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager or another manager and works on your other devices too.
  • Lost your phone? Remove its passkey with Remove. It can no longer be used to sign in.

Troubleshooting

  • “This browser does not support passkeys”. Update your browser or use another one.
  • I can't add another passkey. You've reached the passkey limit. Remove one you don't use.
  • I removed a passkey, but my phone still offers it. Remove it in the system's password settings too.
  • Signing in with a passkey fails. Sign in with your password or a connected account (Google, Facebook, LinkedIn) and add the passkey again.
