+ Passkeys & Biometric Login +

+

+ Passkeys let you sign in using your device's built-in biometrics — Face ID or Touch ID on iPhone and Mac, + fingerprint or face unlock on Android, or Windows Hello on a PC — without ever typing your password. + This is especially useful for shop floor workers who may have dirty or gloved hands. +

+ +
Setting Up a Passkey
+
    +
  1. Log in with your password as normal.
    2. +
  2. + A prompt appears in the bottom-right corner of the screen after login. Click + Enable and follow the device prompt (Face ID, fingerprint, Windows Hello PIN, etc.). +
    3. +
  3. The passkey is saved to that device. Repeat on each device you want to use biometrics on.
    4. +
+

+ Alternatively, go to Passkeys & Biometrics from the user + menu (top-right) at any time to add a new passkey for the current device. +

+ +
Signing In with a Passkey
+
    +
  1. Open the login page.
    2. +
  2. + Click the Use Face ID / Biometric button (the label matches your device — + "Use Windows Hello", "Use Touch ID", etc.). +
    3. +
  3. Follow the device prompt. You are signed in immediately — no password required.
    4. +
+ + +
Managing Passkeys
+

+ Go to Passkeys & Biometrics (user menu → Passkeys & Biometrics) + to see all devices you have enrolled. Each entry shows the device name, the date it was added, + and when it was last used. Click Remove to revoke a passkey from a specific device — + useful if you lose a phone or change devices. +
